Jorgen, Cable release threads are indeed conical but the term used for threads of this type is tapered. I found this thread where someone was looking for a ...
I would guess the threads are not cut with a tap as that method would have a very hgard time dealing with the tapper as it would have to cut out as it went...
Tapered threads can be cut with a tap, there are pipe thread classes (NPT to name one) that have tapered threads to keep the joints from leaking fluid. These...
I asked previously about camera cases. I am about 75% finished with mine and will provide some pics as I get time. As I do some metalwork I wanted to improve...
