    Yep 3 to a cm the biggest problem with trying to measure the X is it is fully enclosed and I'd pretty much have to tear it apart to get to it but I shall attempt to get a close as damn first :)

    well that was easier than expected, managed to get a 1cm wide flat file between the frame work and as near as damn the X is 3 turns as is the Z, so all the screws are the same size

    confused but could be possible?

    7.26TPI 0.13774" 3.499mm pitch is about as close as you could get to that. Stick with tuning it out for now like Rick said before. Imperial or not you would still like it working with what you have. Sorry i took this away from that.
