acidrain is on a distinguished road
Default Re: Should I order more Ti?

I have about four pieces of the 1/8in that I have threaded about 1/4in of the ends with 6-32 threads. The die cuts a cone shape where the threads begin on the rod. When threading this racking wire into a part, it snugs up against the cone shape.
The Ti is very easy to thread... just like steel.
I have one piece of 1/4in rod that I narrowed the end on (with a belt sander), and then threaded with 10-32. Threading your racking rod/wires is a very good way to go. Just keep in mind this is where acid will hide when you go to dye your parts.
