Threading 1/8" dia piano wire
 

Is it possible to cut a thread on the end of a piece of 1/8" dia piano wire without first heating (annealing) it.

Russ:

Possible? Yes. Practical? No.

Chuck it in a lathe, use a tool post grinder to cut the threads.

As I said: Possible? Yes. Practical? No.

Music wire you want threaded?
. Toward ruined dies you are headed.

Do a search and there are topics on using welding rods which you can thread. As Bill said, don't ruin your die set on piano wires. The're real hard........

Next to impossible, and as already stated, it will ruin your die.
