Now, I realize that the traditional way to do these is by gashing the blank and then using a hob for the cut, but what would prevent me from using a flycutter ground to the shape of an Acme thread and cutting the threads in my horizontal mill with an indexing fixture?
Reason I ask is less-than-stellar skill set in making things like hobs, but little trouble doing odd bits like this in my horizontal mill with my rotary table.
Discuss... ;D
Thanks, Alan
