SuperCut 51P adapting AG60 Connector

[William]

Very happy with my 51P, but I'm trying to adapt an AG60 torch I have so I can use it as a back up.
- Pulling my hair out -
The 51P manual says the connector is 16mm, but that can't be right because a 1/4 air hose connector screws onto it just fine (as a thread and size experiment).
The 3rd party torch female connector is approx. 5/8" diameter, which I think is 16mx1.5 but I'm not 100% sure.
The 3rd party torch female connector swallows the connector on the 51P. (in other words: no thread grip)
So how do I get these two pieces of equipment connected?
Here is a pic of the 3rd party torch:


Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

A lot of these are variations of BSP. Bust out the calipers and a thread pitch gauge then look up the thread charts to figure out what you have and what you need. If the adapter is not common, you might need to make your own, either cut it on a lathe, or braze two fittings together. Two good sources are Mc Master Carr, and Maryland Metrics. They both have a ton of specialty fittings. Another option is to change the hose. You might get a match at the torch end instead of the machine end. 3/8"-24 is often used there, even if the machine end is M16*1.5

Thanks Rambozo for your insights. (what is BSP?)
The machine connection, despite what the manual specs say, almost perfectly fits a 1/4" brass air hose connection, and the torch connector is M16.
So I guess I'm looking for something to mate them (1/4 female & M16 male).
I'll check out McMaster and Maryland Metrics.
Thanks for the tips.
Anyone else have any insight?

Think of BSP as pipe thread with no taper.

Units are calibrated to the torches. Don't fool with changing torches unless it is exactly the same one.

Isn't this the same one? If not, then why? What are the technical differences?
