Threading 1/8 stainless steel

[Michael GilliganParticipant @michaelgilligan61133]

Eric,

At the risk of stating the obvious:

If you have a screwcutting lathe, this would be the time to use it … Even a very basic approximation to a screw-cut thread would remove the majority of the material, and you could then finish it with the die.

Great result. Have fun with your stainless. (Stuff is my pet hate!)

ER collets usually work best for me because there are more contact points than a 3 jaw chuck.

I get mine from Accu: **LINK**
