Does anyone have experience with dieing and tapping? Given in the pictures below is a disassembled carburetor made of brass-chrome material. Is it possible to create threads on it, or inside it? The material thickness of the smaller part is 0.3mm, the diameter is 9.7mm. If it is feasible, what size die and tap would be needed?
I would like to make a rebuildable atomizer out of it, so I don’t always have to tap out the inner part because it is fragile.
Thank you in advance for the help
Hi! It’s hardly possible to do the cutting or drilling at that material thickness; the wall is too thin. Even a 0.5 pitch thread would cut through it. In that case, it’s better to make a new one.
Thanks , but I’m doing it with a Mesh layer, it’s just a hassle to take apart, so I thought if it had a thread connection on it, it would be significantly simpler .
