I’m fitting a QCTP to my 12x36 2hp lathe and I need to make a new stud. The new stud is 16mm with 2.0 thread one end and 1.5 the other ( 5/8” 11 tpi and 18tpi)
Is 1214 okay for this job?
Sure, I think so. I machined my Aloris stud and it cut like 12L14 or maybe 1215. When I made a new stud for my Dorian, I used 1144 - even better. These things do not take a lot of torque so about any steel will do.
