FAQ

What is the difference between coarse (USS) and fine (SAE) thread?
Coarse thread (UNC) has fewer threads per inch, goes together faster and is less likely to cross-thread. Fine thread (UNF) has more threads per inch, gives finer adjustment and holds better under vibration. The nut must match the rod's thread.

Can I cut threaded rod to length?
Yes. Thread a nut on first, cut with a hacksaw, band saw or cut-off wheel, then file the end and back the nut off. Backing the nut off cleans up the first threads at the cut.
