Screw thread on top of Classic Cast press
Posted: 10 Sep 2019 09:54
Hi all!
I want to fit my powder dispenser on top of my Classic Cast press to make the loading of handgun ammo easier. The top of the press has 2 holes with thread. I need to know what size the thread is.
I live in South Africa where we use ISO metric screw thread. I expect that the Lee press has UTS thread. I measured the holes as 0.14" - so I suspect it may be #8 thread (0.1640" - major diameter - according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Thread_Standard)
I need to have an accurate, or at least a pretty good idea of the thread size so that I can find a local supplier that stocks UTS screws.
Thanks in advance!
