Does anyone know of a source for a die that can tap wood threads on metal
stock? Yesterday I tried to make my own by making a spring die with the
impression of a 5/16" wood thread..............the impression on the die
seems okay, but when I tried to forge a thread on a piece of 5/16 round
stock it resulted in a oval piece with not very distinct threads. (too much
material?)
Thank you
