By the way
I use a lot of M10x1.5 and rarely use M10x1.25
Darren, I know you're kidding because you know that other than having to change gears on my lathe to single point cut metric threads, I have no gripe with ISO/metric anything. I routinely alter my lathe's DRO and my mill's control between metric and inch systems.
And I do think Jack is right about the 10x1.5 threads. That's the "normal" standard (coarse) for 10mm. I have that, plus I have a 10x1.25 and a 10.1.0 tap.
