Lost thread gauge in move, it measures 5/8 And looks like 16 or 18 tpi. Before I buy a tap, i would like to be sure.

Thank you

take a 5/16x18 bolt and match the threads, do the same for a 3/8x16 bolt. If one of them mates up perfectly, then that's what it is.

Predator / Molinari bumper adapter

The thread size is M16 x 1.5
My lathe will not cut a 1.5 mm pitch accurately. Between having an SAE lead screw & only the most basic change gears, most budget lathes will only approximate a metric pitch. I tried making the threads sloppy and relieved part of the threaded section but the end result didn't make me happy. Yes, I could have tapped the buttsleeve but I wasn't happy with those results either. Fortunately, I was able to make an adapter on the CNC that would do the trick. You can see it by clicking HERE

Thanks! I always love your videos and pictures and webiste. True craftsmen are never worried about sharing information. I think the vast majority appreciate things like this, it's the idiots that tend to be the loudest and most likely to respond. Don't let them discourage you.

I got fed up with emails telling me that my solutions were overkill; that today's glues are sufficient to do the job and threads are virtually unnecessary in cuemaking. So I decided to make several of my more "offensive" videos private. This video is now public.
MODERN CUE MAKING!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

You should put a paypal link on your video's.
Your getting on in your years!

I'm lucky in using metal lathe to make it right thread. You could use hand tap if you do not have right tool lathe.
