Thread wires?
Bill in Boulder "Engineering as an Art Form!"
yes thread wires will work
but i am looking for something simpler
for the thread I'm cutting, 9/16 12, shoving in the blade parts of
the caliper gives a number of about .475 for adjacent minor diameters.
Sure enough, when i cut the second one today down to that number, the
nut fit perfectly.
if i attached 2 razor blades to the jaws of the caliper, and knew the
numbers for even fine threads, I'd know just when to stop cutting.
