Yes actually 1.65mm is VERY close to 0.065", which is 1.651 mm, or 15.38 threads/inch. No inch-based screw uses a fractional value for this.

But metric defines the actual thread pitch, so this screw would be M4x1.65. This makes more sense because I can buy M3.5x1.65 screws, but nothing in M4 :no: Very odd screw.

I like that you also adjusted the thread shape to perform optimally in plastic :thumbsup:

It exists screws for plastic in a special norm. There I have the shape from.
I have compared the exist scews with mine. The shape of the thread angles are defined.

And I have grind the lathe tool to these special angles.

my screws are better than the originals

but screws with m3 X 1,65 I have never seen and where have you see these screws? The problem with the screws is that they are not cutted they will be roll forged.


Oh m3,5 sorry but this is easy........

I can do this......

I have thread cutters here in m3,5 :w00t:

Stop!!!! M3,5 have definetly not this Pitch!!!

Where have you seen the screws with 1,65 Pitch?????????????? :blink:

Little update:

in the meantime i have try out to create a switchcap.....And let me say the following:

At this moment one of the testcaps is on the way to blue_fuz :yes: that he can tell me about the fitting and some other questions i will have........

This is only for a test, i have one made in alu....should be a little surprise to him :-D

I know i have told that this isnt possible, but i changed my own opinion: One smart guy sayed to me: Trommelmops what you not do you cannot learn :lol:

Oh he's so right......

Im sure you see the first testcap which isnt not yet finished to 100% on a picture soon..... :-D

Looks good and when they have a little to much pitch I can do the correct pitch now

From now on I can make them in 1.65mm pitch and can change the lathe tool a little......

They are very close thread count and pitch. Could be adjusted a little, I can get more dimensions for you. I will try tonight.

OK...i need help to understand: Is the gap to tight? Which thickness has the slidermaterial?

I have made the testthing with 1.15mm gap but i think is 1.2mm?????

I need then a new measurement from you with the correct thickness...... :yes:

Cool that the screws working :clap:

Got me thinking about the switch caps needed for M90.
Trommelmops, maybe I/we could provide you with the actual lever/switch needed for the cap to fit?
Would that be of use to you?
