My staking set (a clockmaker's tool) made by Favorite of Switzerland has a damaged thread on the stud that locks the turntable and I want to replace it. The thread is 6.97 mm diameter x 1.0 mm pitch but I can't find it listed in Tubal Cain's book or the Zeus tables. Can anybody tell me if this is a standard thread that I might be able to buy a die for? Would one in fact refer to this thread as 7 mm?
