just a little background on threading
my threading test at machinists school had me make one each bolt in
1/4,3/8,1/2 and 7/16 and the nuts to fit them on the lathe . the bolt had to
be the right length , right grip length , and properly threaded and the nuts
had to have a fine or 3b ( i think thats rite , long time ) fit . the hex
heads had to be made properly also . i made 100 % on that test unlike some
others lol.
yes it can be difficult to thread a 3/8 rod with a die but take the advise
of someone who said to sand or grind a taper on it .he is 100 % correct .
now if you chuck it up in a lathe ( the die and rod ) it is a piece of cake
.
