Elevation thread pitch
« on: October 13, 2011, 07:21:13 PM »
So, I have a length of 1/2\"-20 all-thread that I could substitute for the 1/2\"-10 Acme thats called out in the plans for the elevation screw. I\'d just need to cut the keyway slot in the all-thread, and turn and tap an elevation nut.
Do you guys think it would be too fine of a pitch or no? I don\'t see having to do any quick elevation adjustments.

Would work okay.

I bought a length of 1/2\"-10 LH ACME from McM-C. Have taps.

That\'s what I\'m thinking, i\'m going to work with the 1/2\"-20 I have. After all, the windage adjustment on the oscillator is 24 pitch, and I can always switch it out later.
