    Hi Andre,
    This may help you https://www.woodworkforums.com/f65/yo...ml#post1563349

    You can measure a known good thread and then measure the thread you are cutting. There are also charts available for measurements over wires for different threads in different grades of fit. I think they are in Machinery's Handbook.

    Cheers,
