Ok - I have the need to make 10,000+ pieces of stainless steel expanding rods annually. M6 Left hand thread on one side, right hand on the other. Presently own a mid-size grizzly lathe wondering if I can adapt screw machine die-head (insertable chasers, etc) to the tailstock on this to cut these or if I need to pick up a screw machine or small cnc lathe... would like opinions from people here on the best approach for this, as I'm just learning this stuff as I go along...


...also if anyone has a small used Mazak CNC lathe for short money...
TIA
Chris
