[Land-speed] Not LSR Question, Need to cut threads to make a 3/8 bolt

[don thigpen]

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 
.
