thread too tight
thread too tight
(OP)
hi everyone,
I know very little about machining and I want to learn more. I asked a machine shop to make a part. It has a thread to connect with another part. Of course another part has thread too. My idea is I can use my hand to have enough force to turn the part into another part. But the thread is too tight to turn by hand, I want to know how does the machine shop will do to make the thread lose a bit so that it can turn in by hand completely. I want to know what will the machine shop do on the part to make the thread more smoother? thanks

RE: thread too tight
If the part was threaded with a die most die's are adjustable.
RE: thread too tight
If the interference is on the female thread tips it is harder to take down the tips. Interference from Internal thread tips can be corrected on future parts by using a slightly larger drill bit.
