????

(1)  1/5 = 0.020 ??  :scratch:

(2)  Surely the formula only applies to a 60 deg screw thread ??

Whoops! (I've fixed it.)

Yes, it applies to a 60 deg thread.

Well, I didn't have anything to thread the test part into until today. I had to tap a hole 5-40 today on a project I'm working on and decided to try the test threads out. Very nice fit, I'm happy about that. When I cut the male threads on the test part I threaded the 5-40 die split screw until it just touched the other side of the split, then gave it an additional quarter turn. Looks like that turned out about right.

Yep, Elmer's engine number 11

I took Bogs advice and started with I thought was the most difficult part to machine. 18 2-56 drilled and tapped holes done and only 6 left to go on this part. You can read more about it on HMEM.

Nice result Russel

If you can thread silversteel/drillrod you can thread anything.
