The thread has had a "gutter" added between the last thread and the shoulder of the hub as a "machine/tool exit" as a spring with a ground end is being screwed onto it but I have been told its too fine to try to get the thread up to the very end of the hubs shoulder.
As for 1 operational pass Im not sure, but Id like to keep the holes uniform across all the production if possible
As for numbers Im looking at setting up shop in the US as supply chain issues out of asia is ridiculous (freight more than anything due to FJB insane fuel prices means small jobs are now no longer economical
So Im trying to figure what machinery I need (second hand to start) to get this going here
Needs a helix machined to accept 3 spring coils (screwed on, so it needs to be machined precisely)
So width ranges (3 models) 48mm, 70mm & 81mm
Currently made of either 4140 or T6061 T6 (customers choice)
Hole from the top to accept a 1-2" shaft also
Any model recommendation would be appreciated
