I have a nice Starrett back plunger dial indicator set, complete with a bar to clamp into a tool holder. Its threaded to accept the 5/16 rods the set uses. The bar is small for the shaper lantern so I thought I'd make a 5/8 x 1 3/8 one and thread the end or the Starrrett rods. Not so. They use a proprietary thread, somewhere between 10-28 and 1/4-28. Had to make a new rod with 1/4 -28 threaded end.
Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
