Anybody try single point threading Victrex 450CA30 extruded rod? Any tips would be appreciated (e.g. tooling, speeds, feed, etc.).

The external thread is a custom .2850-70 UNS-3A thread per ASME B1.1 if that helps illicit responses.

Looked through Victrex's processing guide, but found nothing specific. I'm thinking diamond tipped / coated inserts will be required.
