Gentlemen (and gentlewoman's), I have a question regarding screw thread and the making thereof, specifically, how do I determine without trial and error, the size of the wire/material that can be used for a specific thread.
Lets say I have a die that is 80TPI ( 80 Threads Per Inch). What size wire would I use to add threads to?
Does that make sense?
Let us start with that, and we'll get to tapping and drill sizes later.
Yes I have looked on Wikipedia and it did not ( or perhaps I lost interest in the LONGGGGG explanation...) say how to determine wire sizes for the die being used....
Thank you for your time!
