Good question. I can't find it either. It'd be handy to know, I think.

Bump for curiosity's sake. :biggrin:
 
I measured one of mine and I got 7.3x0.75 mm. I also ask at Schmidt just to be safe (I was not so sure about my pitch reading) and the blueprint that they gave me writes 7.5x0.75 mm. I will try to find a 7.5x0.75mm tap (sounds more common to me than the 7.3 x0.75mm) and give it a try.
 
Sorry I read to fast, they dont have a 7.5 x .75 more than likely that will be a hard fellow to find. Most of those odd in between sizes we end up having custom made. How ever it may correlate to an American tap size let me check. There is no imperial size that would correlate to that metric tap size.

Aurelian would you let us know if they are available in the UK? If not I need 6 commitments and I can custom order them.

Something occurred to me last night, and I went on a recon mission in the internet for the k6 converters. I seem to recall that the bluRafia folks WERE selling 10 or 25 packs of these, but now I can't seem to find them anywhere. Did you guys corner the market as soon as Mike requested a quote on the taps?

Seriously, any idea where to find the converters other than onesy-twosy places, hopefully with a volume discount?
 
Can someone tell me the reason for wanting these? Are you afraid that the converter will come loose, have you had some come loose? Is everyone just wanting them just to have them? I cant see a practical use for them. All of the Premium Schmidt converters i have used fit very snugly on the back of all of the feeds that i have used and cant see a need for the threaded ones. I also dont like the idea of cutting threads under threads. Thats a lot of threads in the back section of a feed. Feed threads, converter threads and section threads all right there. Seems like pushing your luck. I try to avoid threads above and below each other where i can. There are a few places this cant be avoided, but this one can with the use of the regular converters. Just trying to understand the need for these, as so many people jumped on the band wagon so quickly.
 
Hi Justin,

Pen making is a hobby for me. This looks like an interesting challenge and I just want to try and see if I can do it. Others might have better reasons but mine is simply for the joy of it.

Pretty much the same here. I like playing with stuff like this. Threading is my favorite part of the project.

I can see it possibly being good optics for sales, but I'm not worried about that right now.
