Any ideas where to get an m5 to m6 reducer?
Hey guys
I have an m5 male thread and an m6 female fitting
Any ideas how I make them join together? I tried looking on the net and couldn't find anything useful.
Thanks
Stu

Yeh I would think a thread insert would be very close.

with a little more information I am sure that something could be made, do the threads have to be coincident, or can the M5 screw into something, that
is sufficiently long that it has a M6 thread further along,...

I'm pretty certain that internal and external threads could not exist in the same area. Thinking about it, the nominal diameters are only 1mm
difference, or 0.5mm wall..not much left after the threads are cut.
A helicoil would be ok if the pitches were the same, but they aren't.

the sketch looks ok till the site centers all the text. But in essence I was suggesting that you will need a part long enough to have the two threads
one after the other rather than one inside the other.
