And this boys and girls is how new bolts are made.
Here's a picture of what I'm talking about. When you compare the two bolts this way the high spots on the threads should nest nicely inside the low spots in threads of the other bolt. If they do, the thread pitch is the same. If not, they're different.
You sir, are a specialist in the art of discovering a welcoming outcome of a particular situation....not a mechanic.
My feedback add 11-12 ish before the great servpocaylpse of 2012
This is false.
Metric vs SAE threads: as long as diameter and pitch are similar between the two frequently you can get a "false start". An example is 1/2 x 28 and 12 x 1.5. They look very similar from outward appearances.
But when you try to mate them the threads are "out of time" with each other. Get 3-4 turns and the timing difference stacks up and the thread stalls out.
Rays method of checking threads is the way to go without a pitch gage as long as you know what your "gage" thread is.
Silly cstone, don't you know those are both male threads?
You've been in Colorado too long

The most important thing to be learned from those who demand "Equality For All" is that all are not equal...

Yeah, my method is just a quick and dirty way if you have an existing bolt you know fits and want to make sure the replacement bolt is the right pitch. I'm pretty good at distinguishing a 13 tpi bolt from a 28 tpi just by looking. Lol. Sometimes the 7 and 8 look pretty similar without lining them up. Same with the 11 and the 13.
Hell, as a transmission guy I knew once said, "A cross thread is better 'n a lock washer"...

Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?

Yep. I've never seen a cross threaded bolt back off.Hell, as a transmission guy I knew once said, "A cross thread is better 'n a lock washer"...
That was a blast from my youth.
I see you running, tell me what your running from
Nobody's coming, what ya do that was so wrong.
