Hello,
Need to machine custom collet with the same thread as sample (see photo). Checked the thread pitch under a microscope and it is exactly .025". However, the diameter is .272".
I don't know the machine/device that the sample fits. It is used in the electronic industry. The collet bore gets a sharp thread to bite into a cable jacket.
The sample has a different taper than the one I am making. The customer spec.'d the wrong thread on the drawing for the one I already made. He sent me this sample to match the thread.
I normally use a threaded fixture to hold the end of the collet to saw the slits. However, a .272"-40 isn't going to go in a 1/4-40 tapped hole.
Any ideas what this thread might be?
Thanks,
Bill
