My disc brake frames came with the proper axles. My frames all have 142 rear and 110 front spacing and 12mm diameter axles with 1.5mm thread pitch. Next time I have one out, I'll measure the thread length. I don't expect axles to wear out very quickly if I remove each one once or twice per year.
Calipers will give you thread diameter. I've had cheap thread pitch gauges in metric and English sizes forever. No need for other special tools.
