[TheForge] bolt thread repair tool

[Peter Fels & Phoebe Palmer]

I can imagine that if you have an extra tubing cutter, you could regrind the axle so as you rotate it it would conform to different thread pitches, and you could regrind the blade to the 60*(?) thread angle required,
though it doesn’t resolve parallel tracking problems entirely.
But why?

I wonder whether a tubing cutter or pipe cutter would do the same.  Might
have to re-mount the cutting roller on a smaller pin so it can rotate
slightly off-axis.  I'll have to give it a try.

I don't have much use for it, but I did have to clean up the pivot bolt on
an old leg vise a few months ago and it might have come in handy for that.
I used a triangular file, which worked.
