Hi Guys,
I need to make a draw bar and just wanted some tips. It seems very straight forward, but I have a few options, wondering if I can get some expertise on the best way forward.
My draw bar is currently an M14, but most of my tooling is M16 so I need to make an M16 threaded draw bar.
Option 1 is to purchase some threaded rod, M16 and weld a Nut to the top of it
Option 2 is to purchase some oversize Mild steel (too soft?) and turn it down on the lathe, and cut the thread into it, and then Mill the hex/square head onto it.
Cheers
