Given you have imperial dials with one full turn equaling 0.100" you probably also have a metric diameter with an imperial pitch, 10 TPI. There is a acme threaded rod manufacturer somewhere near Minneapolis/St Paul or in a town in Wisconsin on the lake from whom I've purchased odd ball V form and acme threaded rod and nuts. Just cannot remember the name of the company.
In any case I recommend you switch to 1"-10 acme rod and make or purchase the appropriate nuts. If you cannot find precision threaded rod, if you do not already have a DRO on the mill now would be and excellent reason.
