Members SmokeyPoint Posted September 26, 2015 Members Report Posted September 26, 2015 I just had to make this connection myself (as in I didn't know this) but are you aware that .6mm Riza (Tiger thread) is NOT the same as .6mm machine thread? When I looked at conversion charts, .6 is equal to like 277. Now, I use 277 on thicker holsters and sheaths, but that's not the point, this is thick stuff. Riza thread is FLAT and at its widest point, .6 thread is .6 wide. but Its height is like .1 or .2, which is why it's ok for thinner leathers. Other threads (especially machine threads) marked as .6 are diameter, so they're quite substantial. Quote http://www.smokeypointleather.com

Members gary Posted September 26, 2015 Members Report Posted September 26, 2015 25b Tried PM-ing you but couldn't. Do you want me to send you some of the 0.4mm Ritza so you could give it a try and see if it's any use? Gary Quote
Members panchoskywalker Posted September 29, 2015 Author Members Report Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) I just received this one from china: http://www.ebay.com/itm/301196666744?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&var=600258965687&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT It is 0.8mm flat waxed thread. I don't plan to use it on watch straps but I share anyway as it is cheap and looks good. Edited September 29, 2015 by panchoskywalker Quote
