Adapters - Having Custom Threads made?

[Macavity]

Oooops - finger trouble! Body of post pending...

So much of what I do requires an *adapter* to fit "equipment A" to "equipment B"...
Just wondering... IF I know the size of two threads and provide a tube of appropriate
size, is it within the capabilities of a "typical CNC machine shop" to produce threads for
say a M35 x 0.5mm to T2 (42 x 0.75) adapter. Wiki mentions single-point threading?

FLO use a guy sort of local to them i have had him make me a adapter, i don't have his details but FLO with pass them on.....

Hi Chris,

You don't need the sophistication of CNC, any decent lathe with someone who knows what they are doing can cut threads.

I suggest you look for a local model engineering group and ask them nicely - amateur to amateur. I would be surprised if you didn't get a positive response.

Thanks guys!

Hugh - It is more of a *hypothetical* at the moment! In my younger "scientist" days:
"Would it be possible to make..." was greeted with banterish "You want what, Son"?
Of course the item - In duplicate (with enhancements) appeared a few hours later! 

All good general education for me. Good to know for future reference!
