Hey guys, I need to strip the threads from an M22 half nut for

>>1042017
couldn't you just drill them out with a bit slightly larger?

>>1042021

Good tip, thanks man, any other suggestions?

>>1042021
Make sure the nut is well viced though... Shit could get hairy!

Put the file in the vice and the bolt into a drill, or if you have a drill press use that

>>1042028
no not really try that first and if it doesn't work come back.

>>1042017
couldn't you just use a couple of washers instead?

Cheers lads!

That was actually one of my first attempts but I need more weight and the nut was the next thing I found that would (kind of) fit

>>1042064
What exactly are you trying to do that it requires the nut to be a certain size/weight, I ask because there might already be a solution out there, but we can't help you with the minimal info you have given.

I'm going to fit a 22mm bearing in the center of it. Think a poorman's Torqbar, I just need something with a 22mm hole and a decent bit of weight

Also, use a drill press if available, and use a low feed rate. The threads like to catch if you go too fast.

Thanks for the advice guys, really appreciate it
