Good morning Pen Makers - I have two questions this morning.
1) I've noticed the finish on external threads is very good from pic displayed on this forum. I'm having extreme difficulty getting threads to look "finished". They are dull and even white in some cases. What is a good method of buffing / polishing threads - M12 x 0.75 or 1/2-20?
2) What is the best diameter to make 1/2-20 external threads. My research produced .450 (.5-.05) but this seams a bit small and the threads aren't tight.
Once again thanks for all the help.
