Thread milling with a little X2?
Where can I get a CHEAP as $%^# thread milling tool?
Can I take a tap ( with the same pitch) and grind off 3 of the flutes and use it?
How about a boring bar for internal threads? What insert would cut a 2mm pitch?
I need to cut a lathe backing plate with a 1.5in x 12tpi thread.
The price of these little 1/8in. thread mills kills me, there like a hundred bucks or more. There has got to be a less expensive way to do this.
