But why were you trying to explain threads to your son? Genuine question I'm not having a pop, most folk probably only know metric maybe BSP or Gas as some call them.

It started off with an explanation of Acme and trapezoidal threads in a machine vice, then spread to UNC being used on wheel nuts. I think we even mentioned Cycle thread.

That makes sense, I wondered how you got onto it, I do like machining threads, although I'm a cnc man I still find them great and annoying at the same time, like when you get chatter on half the thread!!
