material is 4130 steel 2" dia bar. will be bar fed into our lathe. whats the best way to cut the 3/4x10 thread? we thought about tapping, but worried about tap life and how repeatable the parts will be after heat treating. and then thought about single pointing it, but need to thread down 1.6" and then starting to worry about tool deflection and having to chase the thread with a tap when done.
trying to do this in one op, so the hole will be blind as well. my current thoughts are osg spiral flute taps so we eject the chips. but looking for other ideas and opinions.
thanks
