I have a General #79 here, and the tip has a 3-56 thread. I also have
a Starrett 18-A, and though the tip doesn't unscrew easily, it appears

General's tip I think I replaced it with a Starrett tip.

Hey Thanks! I didn't want to order one of each and find (my luck) that
none of them worked... Did you order an 18A tip for the General? I'd
rather have a Starrett tip, but the General tip would work tons better
than no tip at all! G
