Thanks for the tip TRA. who is TRA? I try to put names and faces with screen names.
I have found when using the full profile cutters, exactly what you state. You worded it better than I could and I thank you. For Instance when installing Gene Beggs tuners, Gene states that you cut to .875 and thread for 28tpi. What I have found is that you can cut to .890 and begin cutting for 28 tpi, when the tuner fits snug you are there. It seems to be about .022 on the compound. And the last few cuts are taking top and bottom off the threads on the cut.
