Wanting to cut a #6-40 thread 0.007 oversize. Can the chasers in a die head typically be moved in and out to cut under or oversize or do they lock in place to always cut on standard pitch?
How far can a split die generally be adjusted? I already cracked one. Maybe if I took a torch to the die opposite the adjusting screw I could anneal it enough to make it more adjustable.
The thread is 3/4” long so to much flex for the diameter to single point it. A follower rest could have possibilities but hoping for another option.
