Hi all
I've started to make the thumb screw for my plane and I want to put an M12x1.5 thread onto it.
I've machined the brass down to 11.6mm but I can't get the die to start cutting.
I've chamfered the end and am using the tail stock to hold the die stock square but still having no luck.
Starting to think 11.6mm is too big but it's the only measurement I could find online.
Don't want to mess it up as its the last bit of brass I have.
cheers
