You can also weld an extension on the end and machine that.

Or, make a sleeve and put that on.


The screws I have are hard and carbide tooling in the lathe took a
beating before I gave up. carbide does not like interupted cuts such
as the threads.

Next time it will be an hour at the post grinder to get down to the
minor diameter or weld extentions.
