Hey guys, i figure someone here knows their way around a machine shop and could give me some advice.
I'm working on a project that's 2 5/16" in diameter. This is a thin walled piece that needs fine threads. The only standard thread that I can find (i'm not an engineer) is a 2 5/16 -16 UNS thread. The problem is that this is too coarse for my application, and i think the thread depth would be through the piece.
I have a machinist making the part for me, but hes doing this as a favor and asking me what threads to use. I don't know what to tell him. Can someone point me in the right direction with this?
Thanks,
John
