The 4 threaded holes for the jaws set screws of my lathe chuck are cross threaded . I think if I could learn what die to buy , I can rechase those threads in order to use my chuck . Does anyone here know exactly what the threads are ? I've narrowed them down to 5/8" coarse threads , but exactly what pitch ? Standard coarse threads have the sharo edges , but the threads in these holes have flat edges which means a standard 5/8 coarse thread tap will not screw in . My last resort is to buy a different chuck , ??? so if anyone has one , let me know please .Any & all help will be appreciated . God bless, Ken :bow:
