Does anyone happen to know the thread pitch for a steam tip on a 2014 Elektra Micro Casa A Leva? Thanks.

I have a 2013 MCAL. I have made MCAL steam tips for it and another machine. The Pitch is M6x0.75.

Note that it is very easy to find M6x1.0 acorn (dome) nuts, and to drill them with a 1.4mm bit to make a single hole tip for machines with this thread like the La Pavoni machines. Unfortunately MCALs are not in this group.

There are discussions here in HB about how to turn steam tips with a lathe.
