I had to replace a threaded post in an old alarm clock. It's not the clock I just showed in the Garage Sale Finds thread, by the way. After some fiddly measuring work, I determined the threads to be 00-80. I bought a 1/16" diameter brass rod and a 00-80 die and a 3/16" die stock. I cut a length of rod, rounded off both ends for the die to better bite, secured the rod in a vise, and I sucessfully cut the threads. These are the smallest threads I've ever cut.
