1in x 10tpi NUT

[Cliff Rogers]

Some time in the last 6 years I was able to buy some 1in x 10tpi nuts to suit the spindle on my JET Mini lathe.

I thought it was from a nut & bolt supplier in Cairns but they have been taken over by Coventry Fasteners & now the bloke behind the counter 'assures' me that it isn't a commercial thread so they wouldn't have it. (I am fairly sure he didn't even look)

Can anybody point me in the right direction?

I've bought a few of these nuts for faceplates over the years. It is technically a BSF thread which I think stands for British Standard Fine. Have not had a problem getting it here, I use Cost Less Bolts and they sell for around $7. Would be surprised if Coventry don't stock these or can get them in.

I just found where Boltmasters are in Cairns, I thought it was them who had been taken over by Coventry but I was wrong... I'll check with them the next time I am in Cairns.

[Cliff Rogers]

OK, it looks like I should be asking for a 1" BSF nut.... I'll try that.

Coventry don't have them in their catalogue.

Found them, Boltmasters in Cairns can get them from their Townsville office $4.59 ea.

There is a company in Sydney called Lee Bros { Est. 1910 ) and I have dealt with them for many years. I would be very surprised if they cannot help you. I would say that they would carry one of the largest range of bolts in Australia. I have no affiliation with them.
Their Phone number is ( 02 ) 9890 1555
