Hi everybody - I make pens - so will only be cutting plastics.
Using a tormach slant pro CNC lathe.
I need to cut acme style threads for a client and I'm looking at this for internal-
Acme Threading Tools - Series 32
And I have this for external-
35214 - ID Threading Tool: SIL0375H11
but I'm having a bad time finding 16 tpi acme inserts for this thing.
Should I look for something else? The thread valley needs to be .050" wide to match his other parts. I was going to run the threads close together to get the final width I need.
I was thinking about using a cutoff tool to cut the external block threads with, and then a grooving tool to do the internal threads, but it's hard to find a cutoff tool that narrow that would also work for me as a regular parting off tool.
I'm open to suggestions.
Thanks
Shawn
