heres a shot of the threads that I did today as you can see I messed em up see that little ridge on the right flank. thats from grinding the bit wrong to start with then taking it out and re grinding it and picking the thread back up and not going deep enough to clean it up.
Boost I learned to use big stuff to learn on its easier to see the high spots and grind em out so the nut will fit. Hadn't thought of that but whats a bolt without a nut, so have to make one of them to another nights homework. and here I was planing on casting a new protractor for my Harbor Frieght Grinder in the morning.
anyway heres the picture
What you see is part of a junk steering adjuster that a friend wanted me to copy, The part that I was cutting acme threads on was welded into a piece of two inch tube and is froze on the 1" thread from dirt getting into it. I was going to make a part for the press I have been working on and decided that since it was junk I would try the acme thread bit.
