Hi,
I'm trying to locate some 5/8" steel rod - threaded for about 5" and unthreaded for about 3" - for a total of 8" long. thread required is
11 threads per inch. The rod is to replace the elevation screw on my Rockwell jointer. Someone suggested buying a threaded 5/8" bolt and cutting off the head, but I can't seem to locate long bolts with this much thread on them. They typically have 1.75" of thread. Anyone know a source of these bolts with 5" of 11 TPI thread, or a source of threaded/unthreaded rod.thanks in advance.
