Are tapered threads used for something other than pipes? > The ones Iâve seen all thread fine onto the standard survey poles. I believe > that is a 5/8-11 thread. Do survey poles have a tapered thread, or are the threads short enough not to encounter the tapered part of the hole? Google found lots of adapters. None of the threads looked tapered. I'm not a machinist (but my dad was). Wiki says it's common to start with a tapered tap because they are easier to get started, then follow up with a bottoming tap if necessary. Did they just forget that step for a batch of antennas? -- These are my opinions. I hate spam.
