Subject: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Alan Marconett : RE : looking for flanged ACME

Hi ?,

I've been looking in McMaster Carr. Just not familiar enough with the
parts.

It's a 12mm dia ACME thread. Pitch is about .080", which is near 2mm,
but not exact. Inch is about 12.44, so I'm not sure what it is!

I keep looking. The McMaster Carr prices are quite high!

Someone mentioned making an ACME tap from ACME threaded rod, maybe I'll
try that. With Delron or a similar material.

Another one I have is .375" and 16 TPI, but it's a little light.
