Get an 8 x 36 standard from Tracy tools =A33.00 for a die. Open the split out with a slitting disk and tighten it up, if it cracks it will still do a one or two off.
If that don't suit then learn to screwcut, which is probably quicker than waiting 8 days for replies.

--------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the idea. I shall do that, though longer term I do intend to learn screw cutting if I can find all the change wheels that came with my ML7.

For 36 TPi on the ML7 you will need 33/45/20/55/60 tooth gears. Screwcutting isn't all that hard really, and once you've done it you'll wonder what all the fuss was about.

If it were 32 tpi all power outlets in australia are fixed with 6/32 screws which are number six 32 tpi for some strange reason
Cliff,
My charts show 6/36 ASME with a diam per inch of 0.1380...that's pretty close to your 0.135.
If you can measure the core diameter should be 0.1019" with a 60 degree pitch.....does that work for you..?

Lee/Bill? et al.
The problem has been solved by Peter Colman who kindly made me a couple of screws of slightly different sizes so that I could select the best fit. It is still my intention to learn screw cutting one day, but it must wait until I can get some time off work.
