    Hi Peter
    By my calcs,
    30" (arc secs) = 0.00833deg
    therefore at 1m = 1000 tan(0.00833) = 0.145mm
    Seems to correlate to Starretts conversion (80-90" = 0.42mm at 1m, so roughly 3 times less...

    Hi Stu

    From photo it looks as if there is one pitch difference over about 16 threads, so 0.75/16 = 0.047, so would seem that your thread is something like 0.703mm pitch.

    Nevertheless, as you...
