Has anybody out there threaded a control rod? Is there a jig available? What do people normally do when they want to cut threads on the ends of a control rod ? Any info will be welcome.
Regards
Pradeep

Use portable vice and suitable Die.
Call your nearest hardware store for the items.

If you can hunt in the tools/Machinery market, better. Else you can order it on e-bay
