I will be painting a frame sometime in the next couple months. I will likely want to chase the
threads afterwards, and was wondering if anyone has ever made a homemade thread chaser for the BB?
my idea was to take an old steel BB cup, put a fat bolt through it and nuts tightened down on each
side of it, weld a handle on as a crank, and then carefully mill grooves into it, perpendicular to
the threads (and clean them up as necessary), to allow the chips a place to go. would it work? would
it not be aggressive enough? am i asking for trouble?
