External general purpose ACME Thread size table chart There are three classes of General Purpose ACME threads 2G 3G and 4G each class provides some clearance on all standard size diameters for free movement and are used in assemblies with the internal thread rigidly fixed and movement of the external thread in a direction perpendicular to its axis limited by its
GW Calculator suggest a depth of 0 018″ for the first pass on a 1 4 20 thread and it even estimates it will take 6 passes to cut the thread We ll talk about the passes in a minute but suffice to say that unless you actually simulate ALL the parameters of G76 you can only estimate the number of passes that will be needed
