I’m planing to build a new threaded back plate for my SB16/threaded nose and I have no idea where to start.
So far I have Sourced (not Purchased) a 2” x 10” round steel blank from my local metal Supermarket and it’s mild steel. (No hole in center!)
My questions for the SB gods on here is
1 is 2x10 big enough for a 10 inch 4 jaw chuck and to cover the length of threads correctly?
2 is mild steel suitable for this application? (What about spicy steel? Lol (jokes!))
3 I have a simple indexable threading tool (I have NO HHS) will this work or do I need a Specific threading geometry?
4 any tips GREATLY appreciated
5 anything I forgot or overlooked
6 is my threaded nose 2-3/8 x 6tpi?? I get conflicting info and I’m terrible at identifying threads, any one wanna offer advice I will greatly appreciate it!
