Going nuts...

[Rhinochugger]

Of course in Shakespeare's Day, spanners were just marked '2B or not 2B'.

That's probably the question

 

[Northsider]

That's probably the question

I'm die-ing to know the answer.

Yes, thinking about the 2B and going way off piste, we're probably headed towards Winnie-the-Pooh

I can't work out if this thread is merely drifting, or drunk.

Well, I suppose it's a question of what you're brought up on - in my case, after tea, my mother would read to my brother and I; a variety of books, from Winnie-the-Pooh (and my eldest son later received a copy of that in Latin as a school prize) to Arthur Ransome, and various others that I don't remember

Back to Pooh, it was the pencils, which he decided stood for 'Brave Bear' and 'Helping Bear'

Shakespeare was a man of wit,
And on his coat, he had some .... buttons!

This thread is just nuts.

Yes we really ought to tighten up on the thread drifts

 

[PhilP]

You can torque!

 

[JimmyB]

Yes we really ought to tighten up on the thread drifts

Surely if we are talking threads its not thread drift, unless you use a hammer and punch to remove it.

If you're talking about die, a six is usually best

Well the job is done.
I can confirm that an external M2 thread can be cut effectively onto 2 mm brass rod.
Consider the shrew screw well and truly tamed.
Now to work out how to obtain a nice tight 90 degree angle.
Hey ho...
Once more unto the breach...
Regards,
Paul.
