| Chuck in E. TN:
Hey Eric, 3/8 x 24 is the thread for several drill chucks, including those keyless ones on cordless drills. I have single pointed many from 3/8 drill rod to make adapters for the smaller chucks on the end of MT2 tapers and straight shank to use in my lathe and mill. Chuck in E. TN |
| Tony Wells:
Let's see if this works. |
| Andrew_D:
Well, Tony Wells chart shows an external thread having an OD of 0.366". And further up, saw is showing 9.3mm. My calc-o-brain says that's pretty darn close! Andrew |
| Tony Wells:
Well, there is a tolerance zone in the chart. Anything between 0.3739 and 0.3667 is fine. When turning before threading, I shoot for the high side normally, so I can run a little paper or Scotchbrite over the major diameter to smooth any rough edges at the crest. |
