how would the collective wisdom cut an external thread into a hardene tube?
visions of mounting (somehow) dremal with cutoff wheel on lathe cros slide and engaging screw cutting gears?

Im not sure about the hardness, the 'tube' is an airgun gun barrel i
that helps any? Im only assuming its hardened, but as i only have one havent tried anything yet (files etc), wanted to have a plan first :) I dont yet have the lathe ill use to do it on, tho it will be harrison when it gets here, as my unimat is way to small... ;)

You will find the barrel isn't hardened. I just cut down and rethreaded an old Weihrauch for a friend with no problem at all. It cut perfectly with HSS tools.
:) excellent
well then thats another one to add to the easy todo list for the ne machine.
