I need to cut 10-32 threads on some 3/16 stainless rods. I need to thread 5/8" of length on each end, rods vary between 40" and 43" long. I no longer have access to a lathe, and not sure I want to try single pointing 10-32 threads anyway. The problem is getting the die started coaxial to the rod. I've done a couple of tests, and the first 1/4" of threads looks square, but by the time I get to the full length I need I can see misalignment and flat tops on the threads on one side. Any old...
