PL259 Thread standard
The TPI between the two standards (American and metric) - in this case - are very close resulting in very little thread stock being removed. In the short thread length involved here (about 1/2-inch) and the threads are not rendered to nothing more than bumps.However, at longer thread lengths it well could be a problem, but not at the 1/2-inch distance we are talking about here. Again I ask, have you actually tried this? I have used this method numerous times for myself and friends and I have never experienced any kind of failures or problems in doing so. Yes. and I would not trust the end result to any kind of load, it is fine for a cable connection but certainly not as a method of retaining a mobile antenna at speed! Perhaps the difference is in the die, and the length of thread in the die. The thicker the die the truer the thread will be and the more pronounced the removal of the metric thread. The OP was suggesting a 'die nut' which will be quite thick and I suspect would produce results similar to those I have found. Jeff |
