hello all,
I'm currently making small threaded disc out of torlon. The threads are 3-20. I turn the OD to 2.995 then thread it. After threading I take the mating part and ensure they thread together. Then I part off the part
After parting off my part will barely thread on and the OD measures 3.010, My ID also stretches slightly.
Is this normal for torlon to expand after being cut?
Also I measured the part in multiple places so it didn't just oval after cutting
