Hi, the lathe I have access to cuts only metric threads, I think. I
want to cut a thread of 36 tpi a pitch of 0.706 mm and the closest I
can get is a pitch of 0.700 mm, which gives 36.3 teeth per inch. The
part has to withstand a pressure of 260 psi while a gasram is
pressurised. It looks like it is very close, will it be ok?

thanks
