Hood, I think it would depend on the tool tip radius. John's probably sharper (smaller radius) than yours.

Hi, I did a few internal threads today and found that I needed to adjust the value to pitch * 1.3 to get proper crest form.

The insert tip even with my magnifier looks to have no radius (or perhaps so small I cant see) I also checked to see if it really was a 60 degee tip. I've checked tool offset and backlash, all good.

Still I suppose when it comes down to it, if it works don't worry about it.

Could well be that it is a sharp point. I use full profile tips so going from pitch to pitch the number I use will likely work out because of that.

Hi John,

The number you arrived at seems to be right based on the mathematical formula for a 60°: DOC = 0.5 x Pitch x tan60° ≈ 0.866 x Pitch ≈ 1.3

Thanks guys for the help and reassurance. I've now added a few buttons on the threading wizard to automatically fill in the X end value for the thread based on the formulas.
