383 240z Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Sounds like enough ppl are wanting a tool. I'll start pricing materials I'll keep you all up to date as things progress. Do you guys want me to make just the thread and you get the black iron parts local, or do you want the complete tool? Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
383 240z Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Material is ordered. I bought enough of the Acme rod, to make 12 tools. I'll be useing the 7/8-6 rod for a bit more wall thickness. Complete kits, will be made, with the draw tube. I will be shipping them the cheapest way I can. I only got emails from a few of you, PM me, I'll drop you my mobile number. I have a job I'm running now that uses an offset tailstock setting. So once that is off the lathe, I'll set it up for this job, provided the materials get here soon!!

383 240z Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I machined 6 of the tools today. I needed to order a box of taps. Sorry I thought I had some. Anyway, they should be here in 2-3 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henness Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) I finally finished mine last weekend, I had to borrowed a friends lathe. But I got it and it worked like a charm. I ended up using 1" ACME rod. I'm keeping an extra as a spare, But I have 4 other if anyone wants one. I don't mean to under cut you or any thing Keith, but I have no use for 6 of these things.

383 240z Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I wish you would have done this before I dropped a couple hundered bucks on material and tools, and spent a few hours of machine time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henness Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) Like a said I don't want to step on anyone's toes, but I started making one 3 weeks ago. I had to order larger threaded rod because 3/4" wasn't cutting it. I'll just sit on these for awhile. Edited February 25, 2016 by Henness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roanz Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Sorry if I've missed this earlier in the thread but what are you charging for the tool? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
383 240z Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 PM sent. For everybody else, the tools I made are $70 shipped Priority Mail to a US address. They are made from 1018 tool steel with a pipe puller tube. I went with a larger 7/8 for the tool, the tool is double ended so IF you manage to strip it the other side of the tool is ready to use. Thank you everybody. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
