PM833TV table "drain" thread size?

[LVLAaron]

Got the coolant pump today. The fitting in the package fits the table and the pump... So I'm 1 fitting short.

It's tapered. And none of my SAE/Metric thread pitch gauges fit.

If your thread gauges don’t fit, that is a good indication it is BSPT since the threads are 55 degree Whitworth profile and won’t match up very well with 60 degree thread gauges. Measure the OD at both ends of the threads and see which measurements are closest from the link I posted earlier and you should be able to determine the fitting size. My guess is it is either 1/4” BSPT, or 3/8” BSPT based on the pictures of your mill and the pump on the PM site.

The one that comes with that pump is 1/2" NPT, nothing exotic.

Unless your going full on CNC, I doubt your going to want to use that flood coolant anyway. I've never hooked mine up. Squirt with an oil can, WD40 or flux brush with some oil is about all you need.

Agree.

for the record, it’s 3/8 NPT
