Machinists - Threading SS?
Can I thread a 6.36 mm/.248 inch stainless steel rod?
I have a new high carbon steel Irwin Hanson hexagon 6mm x 1.00 die for this.
Or will I ruin the die on stainless steel?
Will I need a special die for SS?
I've ground a 45 degree chamfer on the rod but haven't started to thread it yet.
I don't have a lathe, BTW.
Thanks for any info.
