    Using something like Trefolex will help with threads on S/S enormously.
    (May be able to grind up a reasonable facsimile of a radiused tool too if you like)

    Default Thread form clarity

    An excellent guide for thread forms, tapping sizes etc etc is the engineers little black book available from places like Blackwoods,Coventry Fasteners and probably online. Has great diagrams of all threads with brief explanations of their uses and heaps of other useful info, well worth the $20-30. In the same series of books is the "fastener little black book" bit dearer but much more in depth info and history of fastener uses.
