    How about some thread dimensions for the graflex pins?

    Question about the guarded switch...

    If the size of the drill bit needed will place the threaded part of the switch through the body of the hilt, then what would the countersink be? (maybe im using wrong terminology...) meaning, what size will be needed to have the top of the switch sink into the hilt a little to have the same look as the pictures...or are the switches already rounded on the bottom?

    Since i just got myself a nice drill press, those measurements were very helpful.

    Thanks!

    I am not sure. I would guess 4-40, but am pretty sure they aren't.

    Someone else care to add?

    Anyone know what the drill and tap for the RICE port should be? (Style 1 specifically)


    Greg wrote this in the comments on the shop page
    Just be careful with the threads dimensions. M6 threading usually means that diameter is 6mm and threads are spaced by 1mm. Here the threads are smaller (0.5mm), so if you don't want to fix it with the washer outside the hilt, you need a special tap, not easy to find.
    I couldn't easily find any more info (apologies if it's been posted already somewhere)

    Thanks,
    -C

    EDIT: it seems it's now listed on the product page - M6 x 0.5

    Updated and cleaned up the first page.

    Still looking for graflex pin dimensions...

    Graflex pins (at least all the Parks replicas I have worked with) are 3-48 thread and you need a 1/8" 6 point hex socket to remove/install them

    I can attest to that (in regards to the TCSS Graflex pins).

    On the first page you have RICE port style 1 named twice instead of style 2.

    Can anyone tell me the Diameters of the standard MHS Male and Female thread?

    I'm trying to design my next Saber in Autodesk Inventor and I can't get my male and female thread to match.

    Thanks.
