If you have friends in the USA, you could get them to send it to you, after you pay them for it and postage. Otherwise some kind member over there could contact arrange it for you.:2tsup::2tsup:

Hi Grahame,
I seem to remember tool exchange had some of the round ones. Shars will post to Aus off there website but not ebay....what the?
Whilst looking for some thread wire info i also found the attached pic, which may be of some use.
Report them to Ebay, they may then ban them listing in Australia.!!Quote:

UUUeee ,Thanks for the info its gone into the lathe threading file.
As yet, I have not cut an ACME thread yet but understand that I require the dimension at the thread root for the width of the "nose" of the male thread .
The gauges that I have seen pictures of, have those nose widths ground into the flank of the tool.
This will greatly simplifly the grinding of the tool.
From what I have picked up on the net the tricky bit is the angles in the side clearances of the ground tool.
Thanks to all who have replied.
cheers

I brought a Starrett No.284 Acme Screw Thread Gauge on E-bay for $26.58 including postage.
This is a accuratly ground tool and I believe very good value.
Why trade accuracy for a cheaper tool.

Because it's cheaper? :)Quote:
