On my mill drill, one of the handles that drives the spindle drill press-style is badly bent. I read somewhere that they would be threaded 11.5 threads per inch but mine seem to measure 12 tpi. I haven't actually got the replacement piece threaded yet as life got in the way of my hobbies!

FWIW, I bought an 80's drill press off Craig's List that was manufactured by King-Kong Industries which is a Taiwanese company. Its handles were also bent -- and badly rusted. I replaced all the handles with 1/2" stainless rod and cut 12TPI threads on both ends - and the fit is fine on both the ball and socket end. So you should be good to go at 12TPI.
