    1/8 BSF does not exist according to the few thread charts I found online. It starts at 3/16. Unless it is a really old thread that pre-dates modern thread charts.
    Gold, the colour of choice for the discerning person.

    But then again 1/16 and 3/32 BSW don't show up on charts nowadays either.

    The tables in the back of Tubal Cain's book of drills taps and dies shows 1/16 and 3/32 BSW
    But
    BSF's start at 3/16", UNFs start at 1/4"

    There is a table of "specials with a Whitworth form" for model engineers which shows 1/8 available in 40 (same as BSW) and 60 TPI.

    8-36 is listed.
