Additional feature request: extend range - add small metric thread and add ME (Model Engineering imperial) threads #88

Open bambukouk opened 3 years ago

bambukouk commented 3 years ago

1) I would like to add metric threads smaller than M1.6 currently available in the workbench in model making, watchmaking, small instrument etc (non-standard/smaller hexagon heads, etc) Examples of fasteners in use: https://ghw-modellbau.de/index.php?cPath=4_5_7_102&language=de or even smaller: https://ghw-modellbau.de/index.php?cPath=4_5_7_103

2)I would like to add "threaded rod for tapping holes" and "threaded tube for cutting external threads" in a range of ME threads: https://www.gewinde-normen.de/en/me-thread.html It's only rod and tube, for use in modelling (there are no "standard" fasteners in this range)

I am more than happy to assist in preparing and entering the data, but my Python skills are "zero" at the moment, hence the request, please.

I have managed some additions, but run up against my lack of understanding of the workbench to make more additions, hence my support for #95
