Sadly my lathe lacks the transposing gear to be able to cut metric threads so I don't think I can accurately fix the thread that way. One of the key missions for my new universal dividing head is to make the 127-tooth gear so I can do metric work on my lathe but that capability is a fair way off at present- especially given that I need to make several other change gears to make the 127 possible. I'm thinking I'll just acquire the appropriate non-standard tap and die for this job.
