Hi Everyone!
There is a part I have been single point threading and I am interested in the speed/thread quality that rolling seems to offer. The material is annealed 41L40 and we are making a 7/16-20 thread on the end facing the tooling on a 32mm swiss Tsugami. The thread length is about 2-1/2". (This is kind of a pain in the Tsugami because you can only turn/thread so much length at a time so the turning/threading ops are broken up into 4 or 5 sections.)
As far as I can tell Fette is the only manufacturer in the world anyone has heard of and their axial head, rollers, and 25mm shank adds up to $4,000. Is that about how much it costs to get into thread rolling or are there other manufacturers/options I am just not finding?
Thank you!
