So it is. Thanks for the correction. The difference between 6-32 & 8-32
remains as stated, though.


I've always considered 32tpi to be "fine", too. I guess there are
6-40 and 8-40 threads for the fine side, though I don't recall ever
seeing one so far in this lifetime.


I have a fair supply of 6-44, 6-48 and 8-40 screws..often found in
guns and sight/scope fasteners
