    Hello All,

    Sorry if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find it.

    I have the need to create a hole using Hole Wizard that is a metric tap size
    M11 x 1.5, but Hole Wizard has only M10 and M12.
    So my question:
    Can I somehow set up hole wizard to show a M11 x 1.5 hole by "tweaking" the
    Hole Wizard file (whatever & wherever that is)?
    Or, is there a better way to do this?

    TIA,
    Muggs

  2. ???? M11 ????
    I've been in metrics all my life and never seen one. The standard is M10
    (x1.5) and M12(x1.75), why add one you will not find any tool to make?

    Jean Marc,
    Thanks for your "insight", I realize that it is a non standard tap size, but
    come on, don't embarrass yourself by saying "you will not find any tool to
    make".
    McMaster-Carr has more than enough for both of us IN STOCK (Page 2240 of
    their latest catalog).
    This is for an intake manifold for a VW VR-6 and the mass air sensor is a
    STANDARD 11 x 1.5 thread.

  6. OOPS, it's not on my '1967 Omaro thread slider... And not on any tool
    catalog I've read.
    Thanks, I can now say "I know were there is a M11 thread". I would never
    imagine the need of an intermediate between M10 and M12.
    I get it: I must be to prevent from putting a standard screw in there.

    Anybody knows a 1/3 inch thread? Don't want to be stupid on that one.
