I made an external threading tool by grinding an HSS blank to a 60 degree point and now am at a point I would like to have an internal threading tool as well. I have O-1 tool steel I can use for the shaft and have seen some posts by people making their own internal thread tools using drill bits as the cutting edge. looking online at alternatives for purchased internal threading bars is a bit daunting as they use different inserts which I am not sure what the differences between them are which is another reason I'm driven to make my own ($$$ being the other reason since I already have the material at hand).
what is your take on internal threading? DIY? purchase?
:thinking:
Thanks in Advance,

what is your take on internal threading? DIY? purchase?
- if DIY - how did you make it - got any pictures to show for it? any tips or things you'd do differently?
- if purchases - which one are you using ? what is it's benefits (insert type and whatnot)?
:thinking:
Thanks in Advance,
