Very stupid question- I apologize in advance.
My drill press that I bought 35 years ago (Enco, made in Taiwan) needs new feed handle knobs.

Here is the manual:

I need to know the size hole of the knob and the thread to replace them. I have already sadly bought the wrong sizes once... :rofl:
I have a prospective supplier:
Essentra (formerly Reid Supply):
http://www.reidsupply.com/products/knobs-handles-hand-wheels/knobs/ball-knobs/
But I need to measure the pull-down feed handle's thread diameter and thickness to know if I need 3/8-16, 10-32, 5/-18.
I tried using a digital caliper, but I was off, and bought the wrong size.
What do I need to measure the thread accurately?
Thanks in advance.
