| Subject: | Great idea for finding thread sizes |
I am on an aviation list on FB, and one of the people came up with a brilliant
way of figuring out bolt thread sizes. Here it is:
Philip Passmore Get a piece of soft wood dowel. Screw it into the hole, then screw
it out and measure the length of five or ten 'ridges' to get the pitch. Measure
across the dowel to get the major diameter (or at least pretty close).

Forgiving is tough, being forgiven is wonderful, and God's grace really is amazing.

Wouldn't it be easier to just spend $10 on a thread gage?

The post involved someone who had a C gearbox who could not get a stud to fit any
of the mounting thread holes, he had a thread gauge, but still could not make
things work out. Could not figure out what size stud would fit. So it was intended
to be a low-tech expedient.
