Brass threaded inserts what temperature is needed?

[WobblyHand]

Just because I could, I cut an 11 TPI thread on my lathe using my home made Electronic Lead Screw, using the new box on my lathe.

Pretty happy with this. Thread came out nice too.

Can you turn a 5/8”-11 Whitworth for the Colchester thread from earlier? It might make things easier for the OP


Cutting oil is my blood.

I think you might be able to chamfer the hole and eliminate the flash... the ideal hole is tapered to match the insert.

Or counter bore the hole.

FYI, a standard mechanics taper reamer is very close to the right angle... I usually clean them up till the insert just starts into the hole cold.

Need to make or get a 55 degree tool. Cutting the thread isn't that hard.

Link to the thread? I remember reading it, but a quick look didn't find it.
