I'm about to make a cone compressor a la the Doc's pattern. I will have both thread types - imperial and metric I have enough material to make two and the rod comes in 1 metre lengths so enough for 3 One for myself - one to sell plus a set of rods for someone to make their own. I'll sell the second one for what ever it takes to buy the rods. I'll sell the spare rods for 1/3 the cost of the rods to cover my time and effort. First in first served. |

Well this proved to be an interesting exercise, but after costing this exercise I've decided it is cheaper to buy the tool from Mini Sport in Adelaide. 
The 1/2" UNF HT rod was $93.50 a metre and no one makes the 14mm1.5 and even if I could get it it would be about the same price. So for $110 for the tool with both sizes I figured it is the way to go.- and less hassle 
Sorry for all those that PMed me but the thing fell in a heap |

I use a bit of standard threaded rod, 3 nuts (one to turn, two to lock on the rod), a washer and a bit of plate.... not at all expensive! |

Did that the first time - didn't like the look of the rod when I finished Also the M14 1.5 is not made by the Australian Manufacturers according to their catalogue at two suppliers.
