How do I know if I have "English threads". They sell the same length & it appears the only difference is "English" threads or "metric" threads?

if you have the tools the simplest way is to rip out the BB and check the label that is on it. the few times i changed the BB it did not even occur to that there could be a difference. if all your screws on your ride are metric then the BB may be as well.but if you can check the label on the BB that be your best bet.

I received a response from the manufacturer: "It is a 1/4" x 20 pitch thread. Try a set screw. They hold much better over time."

Did you email the seller? Because this question is going to people who purchased the thread, not to the seller. We can't answer about the return policy, only the seller can do that.

9/16'' is the total length and i wanted a threaded length of 1/2'' inch. Thank you for getting back with me.

Please read the product description for accurate fitting guide. Thread fits doesn't mean the length is correct.

I'd bring it to a hardware store and find something that will fit the threads. They're a strange size though, so good luck.

This is a metric thread with a 1.5mm pitch. With M14 threads you can have coarse (2mm pitch) and fine (1.5mm, 1.25mm, and 1.0mm pitch)

They are 1100 yds on each spool. I have another machine and I have to put the metallic thread on the top peg instead of the back one (it would tangle on the back one) and I just had to mess with the tension but it didn't take long to get it right. I really like the looks of the finished designs with this thread and I would buy again. Hope this helped a little.

T-mount threads are standardized as a metric M42x0.75 It allows a wide range of accessories to be used with the same adapter. For example, I use one with a 1.25" telescope eyepiece insert, which threads into the M42x0.75 thread. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-mount

BSA and Eng are the same thing. It is regarding the type of thread pitch which is ISO/ENG. English is a probably the most common thread type, but other thread pitch standards are Italian and French.

It is a British Thread. I called the manufacturer when I couldn't find a fit. It will only work on a rack made by them or you can spend about $60.00 and buy a bag of nuts. If buy the nuts let me know I would be interested in buying a couple of you.

It's threaded exactly the same. The housing is shorter, however, by about an inch (from memory. Rough guess.)

I converted the measurements from metric to standard and they are the same as listed on the US model. Should work just fine. :)

We bought one that was a friction-fit only. Then we found another (on Amazon) that was threaded. You want the threaded version. -Richard &lt;&gt;&lt;

Yes, but ... Cutting metric threads isn't discussed in the (brief!) manual. To learn how, search 'mini lathe metric threads' on the web. There are several web pages that explain things better than I could do in a brief answer. These pages also offer tables of the proper gears or computer programs to give you the gears for a specified thread. A lathe with a gear drive SAE pitch lead screw CANNOT cut perfect metric threads but with the proper gears it can come close enough for practical purposes. Buying a 21-tooth gear (about $10, easy to find by search with 'mini-lathe') will get you within a small fraction of a percent accuracy -- good enough for all but precision instrument work.
