I need to make a drawbar for some homemade MT1 arbours for use on a Sherline.

Now, looking a 8mm WW drawbars, I'm assuming that a fine thread would be advantageus.

Is this correct or could I get away with a metric coarse thread? Just to save me buying fine taps and die.

Cheers

Steve

Metric MT1 collets come with M6x1 thread so that should be OK

If using comercal blank end arbors you may find they are threaded 1/4 x 20 Whit

Thanks Jason, I was hoping someone would say that! M6 it is then.

I suppose the difference is that with the WW, you are closing a split tapered collet, hence the finer (40 tpi) pitch.

Yes less closing force needed on the smaller collets and the finer thread is not so deep which means the through hole can be larger
