RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] fine-pitch threadcutting on thinwall tubing

I may be able to do that for you, but it's really off topic. Contact me off
list.

Anyone here have the ability to thread thinwall metal tubing with
~fine pitch
~threads (like camera filters). Inside as well as outside?
~

~I at first imagined one needed really weird taps & dies, but it occurred to
~me that maybe it's just done with a cuttign tool on a lathe.
~
~Then the question is...how does one obtain the right diameter tubing? I
~imagine there are a limited number of sizes, and metric is another problem.
~
~Oh, by the way, the application is threaded tubes & spacers for optical
~applications.
~
~I found a machininst who does this stuff but it's frightening costly...so I
~wondered if it is frighteningly difficult.
~
~Thanks
