Mumbles, ".593" was a typo…… or lisdexia or something 🙁
I meant .493.
My micrometer might be "off" a tad, but I don’t think the
whole threaded area was expanded, but perhaps that’s
why the nut was missing,…. if someone beat it to death!
If you’re convinced OMC’s threading is a modern day
standard 1/2" x 20 tpi, then I’ll find a good die to chase it down.
A good share of my taps and dies were my grandfathers.
He died 40 years ago, and he probably got them used,
so it wouldn’t hurt to get a new die or two! …. P.S.-
they’re still better than the Taiwan flea market set
I got that you could’t even tap a stick of butter with!
Prepare to be boarded!
