I have a barrel which I want to thread with 16 TPI.
I have a lathe that has a 2mm leadscrew. The closest I can get to 16tpi is 15.875 TPI
Is this accurate enough or will the nut get stuck at some point?
I have already tried once, but didnt manage to screw the nut on entirely. Not sure if thats caused by the threads though.
I am using a normal 60degree cutting tool. And I am practicing on something else than the barrel.
