How well would a 15/32" shaft hold a 1/2" thread? Just been repairing the eyebolt for the tailstock on this Ehrlich, but with skimming down the shaft to stop it looking like a tit, I've ended up with it being closer to 15/32" than 1/2". So, just wondering whether I ought try threading it at 1/2" and seeing whether it holds or whether it's best to take it down to 7/16" and make a new nut up for it?
This is the part in question. Cut the end off with the knacked thread then threaded it 5/16" at the end and made an extension piece for it, to get it back upto length.
