| When is half of 60 not half of 60 ? |

Philf, thanks. John, ...Giving the thread the same angle as the tool (well that is how I do it).. Understood. In fact I retract the question as I am in error regarding the final form of the thread. It has to be correct as the tip is square to the job. Bo**ox :( :bang: :bang: Dave. |

It was a very good question :thumbup: :thumbup: The reason for cutting on the leading edge is simply to reduce tool loading Not so important on a light thread But it helps on a coarse deep thread John |

Hey if you don't ask questions when you don't understand something how can anybody help? Good for you for asking!! :thumbup: :clap: |

What is annoying me is that I didn't think it through completely. I forgot about the tip being square to the job and that it will clean up the form to the correct 60 degree angle on the last (cross slide) cut. For your kind words you will each receive a FREE copy of my ritual suicide dvd. Now, where did I put my sharp knife. Dave. :thumbup: |

David, this may surprise you, but many of us also don't always think things through! |
