What about a wire wheel on a bench grinder? I would not think the threads would suffer from that as long as you kept them parallel to the motion of the wheel and didn't go too nuts, no? |
Yeah my thoughts were a die and a corresponding tap for the crankshaft snout. The snout is pretty gummed up and I really want an accurate torque rating.
I actually do not own a wire wheel on a bench grinder. But I do have a few wire wheels that mount into a drill. Perhaps I can try that. This epoxy stuff is very hard, like using a pick I really have to bare down on it to get the epoxy to chip off.
