Title: Untitled Stationery
Here is my 1/4-18 NPT. The screwy thing about pipe threads is, every time I open the thread dialog box, it adds .0341 to the clear box, which is the length of the side opposite the 1.7829 degree angle when its side adjacent is 1.0955 .
 
I have attached the JOF and PM4 file along with a section from my template file.

I can't seem to remember how to program a pipe thread for production turning. I need to program 1/4 - 18 npt.
 
Any help would be appreciated.
 
Thank you
