How feasible is it to roll 3/8-16 threads (3/8" long) on 5/8" 12L14 hex stock using a B&S 2G machine? I plan on forming the "working face" and chamfers as close to the spindle as possible to minimize deflection due to the force involved.
Will the load on the front cross slide be too great to make decent threads?
All responses are welcome, especially from those who have attempted something similar.
Thanks!
