10mm or M10 would be 1.5mm
M8 is 1.25mm

I agree but you can also get 10mm rod with 1.25mm pitch. steel and brass

Or you could cut just about any pitch thread you want with a lathe

Yes but that is not what the op wanted to do. He was asking what numbers to put in stepconf

Sorry I was unaware I wasn't allowed to make mention of screw pitches.

Sorry if I offended you. Of course you can mention screw pitches. But is it relevant to the op's question in my opinion it just muddies the water for a new op.

I wasn't offended, just a little confused re the hypocrisy of your post. Actually you seem to have an over inflated ego if you think anything you post could make me choose to be offended.

Linking to an ebay listing is relevant because it backs up your post ?

I linked those charts to show that there are more than one pitch is related to a particular diameter. Yes some diameter/pitch combinations are more common than others.

But then again M25x1.0 is quite common

Just the clear things up, the pitch is the distance from one peak to another peak (or trough to trough) which is equal to the amount a nut will move when rotated one full turn.....that is for single start threads which are the most common dealt with. Which more or less backs up what has previously been stated.
