What you might call a self inflected school project for extra credit, cause if I can cut em correctly I'll know more tomorrow then I did today.
And I already screwed it up three times. wrong pitch for the width of the bit, bit loose in holder and slipped, and one other but I can't remember now.
So I'm still learning cause I don't know how to do it right.
Once you have cut the thread we need to see a nut that will screw on to it (that is the hard part)
Have fun
