- This sounds so eay yet I don't want to buy the wrong size steel rod stock (again). I need to cut thread to fit 3/8" 16. I blundered and bought 3/8 inch stock yet its obviously too large for my die. W

- Dale--there are several possibilities here. But let me step you through the way I have put coarse threads on 3/8, 7/16 and 1/2" diameter rod when only simple tools are at hand. First take the rod to

- Without grabing my Machinery handbook I can say that the major diameter of a 3/8-16 bolt is about .370. Very close to 3/8. Not sure what is going on.. -- Original Message -- From: "Dale Krumheuer" <d

- I have never had a problem threading standard rod sizes. just add a starting taper and go slow and make sure it's cutting straight. Glen -- Original Message -- From: "Skip Higginbotham" <saltrat@pahr

- I think you've pointed out one of the problems; a 3/8-16 bolt thread is not 0.375" major diameter. That would be 100% thread and that would be next to impossible to mate with a nut at maximum spec t

- a 3/8 bolt thread does have a major diameter of .375 , unless of course you have a very low class of fit and even then it is speced at .375 and the nut is speced accordingly . please dont put a bolt

- 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 len

- Yeah that's what it says in the Machinist's Practical Guide. But pull a head bolt from a Small block Ford and see if it's really .4375. The one I tried wasn't Chrysler rod bolt--.373. Life is sometim
