Have any of you fine folks ever worked with Acme threads? I'm going to have to get some 3/4-6 Acme internal threads put through a small 1" thick 304 SS block. Several dozen.
I'm curious if these will likely be thread milled on a (5-axis?) CNC, or if an Acme tap would do the trick. Considering my options. I might buy a tap and try to do in-house, maybe on a Bridgeport. If you think I might break a tap ($145) doing it myself, I might sent it to be tapped by one guy.
Or if it's better to mill it I might send it over to another guy.
Any thoughts or experiences with cutting Acme threads out there? In Stainless?
