Theory for threads does not translate well into operation without gauging.
People that rely on compound movement for sizing threads are commonly known
for making scrap.

Or one-off projects? :-)

Please bear in mind, I'm speaking from the perspective of one that had to
satisfy independent, critical inspection. I also worked in places where
there
was no inspection, ever, and no scrap produced. Anything turned out was
assembled and shipped. sigh

Yep -- that can be a problem too.

Enjoy,

When you're doing a one-off, you are gauging. By the only thing that
matters, the mating part.
