[Shop-talk] adjustable thread dies

[DAVID MASSEY]

 Do you need the full length?  If not cut the buggered end off with a Dremmel cut-off wheel.

Subject: [Shop-talk] adjustable thread dies

 Help machinist and mill wright type people I have a output stud in an alternator case that the beginning threads are stripped/galled/messed up from someone trying to force a metric nut on it.  the stud is about 5/8"  long and the majority of the threads are good. I can't seem to get a 12-24 die started so I know it will true up the existing threads.   I see they make adjustable dies on the net... can I use that to slide over the bad threads   the adjust the bolt in the die to sit right on the stud then thread it back over the bad threads ??   I just hate to send 20 bucks for the die if it won't do what I want... Any experience doing this ?? thanksjohn_______________________________________________
