was on a lathe then by hand.........and yes am aware of the bigger die side to start
to start with I didnt have a hexagon die holder to use off the TS so had to put the die in the chuck, then the 1/2 6061 rod in the TS chuck and turned the chuck by hand till I got some threads. then turned the rest by hand in a vise with a die wrench
>>>>turning by hand with the wrench was hard to turn so maybe thats why the stock had to be smaller like everyone sez, but would the threads come out diffrent ??
