- A 'Simple Skills' video on cutting a thread down a metal rod, to make it into a bolt..! Easy, and a great basic skill for your arsenal.

I'm pretty sure only Del and Penny are the only people who can make a 17min video about cutting threads and make it so interesting that I didn't realise how much time has passed!
Best video on the topic - thanks!
This is not boring, this is the sort of basic stuff I love. And you were right, first thing I thought when you reached for the grease was, "no mate, you want some trefolex on that". Good vid :D
Have cut loads of threads in the past and still learnt a lot watching this blog,,,,,, nice one Del. Tony
"Stick to the basics, the fundamentals," I heard decades ago. You'll never go wrong when you have your basics down.
Seen you cover this before, but not in as much depth. So I learned how the adjusters operate now, and makes sense finally. Thanks mate. Looking forward to seeing how you measure up and drill that yoke!
Great video. I've done this dozens of times over the years. Never new about the two-stage depth cutting. Great tip! Will do this from now on!
YES! It's not always fun work but knowledge like this is paramount to avoid high fees by others who have the knowledge. And a tap and die set isn't terribly expensive either. Good video!
I recall doing this as an apprentice back around 1970. Taps and dies came in sets of three: starter, intermediate, and finishing cut. None of this adjusting the die size malarky ;-) It took a couple of goes to really get the hang of it; we were cutting plain mild steel bar for most of our "projects"; but I did enjoy the whole "working with materials" stuff, and this video brought back fond memories (yea gods, I sound like an old fogey!). Of course, I moved to the drawing office and then into IT, and haven't cut a thread since... :-(
very informative great video
Excellent instruction. Great little little side pointers too. Thank you.
something very cathartic about cutting a good quality thread.
Stunning, just what I was after and well done as usual. Confidence meter up.... on with the work !!
As always, great tips. Thank you guys.
I have a tap-and-die set with the basic SAE sizes from 1/4" to 1/2" and bought a separate 1/4-28 pitch tap. But in all these years I have never used the dies and am about to do that. Glad I found this video rather than rummage through all the ones that might not be as informative.
Excellent presentation. Well done sir!
Great helpful video as usual Del. Cheers mate.
Best video on this I have watched. And yes, spend the money for good HSS cutting dies, not thread cleaning dies which are usually cheap carbon steel.
Very useful, thanks
Another one of those things I knew something about but wouldn't know how to do it exactly. Excellent info on the subject! Thanks!
