Looking to make an object from stainless steel. So it is a pipe that needs to be fastened to another pipe. Is it possible to print a steel thread or should i leave a hole and tap a thread myself. If I'm tapping the thread myself does this stainless steel material like that? This will be on a car so sure fitting and standing to vibration is a must....thanks

The best way would be to thread it yourself, and yes, our stainless is toolable. I don't think it's been "road tested". The stainless is bonded with bronze, so it's not the same as a cast stainless piece.
