Is there a finer pitch available then a 6-48 tap that you might be aware of ?

It needs to be in the #6 range

Perhaps something close to a #6 in metric ??

With set screw availability.

No custom taps :D

Thanks
Ken

Ken,
Travers tools have #6 up to 80 pitch as standards..about $8.00 ea.

Thanks Ward, that is what I am looking for, I was kinda surprised at the 80 tpi availability.

Any ideas on 6-80 set screws, I have looked at length and made some calls but without success.
They will be used for positioning, the readily available 6-40 is too course.


Thanks
Ken

Thanks for looking machiner11, I had found that as well, unfortunately they are the correct thread but more complicated then I can use.

I may have to use 6-40, but I fear they will be too sensitive.
