Pitches of thread shall be cut off.
The only sure method is to have the appropriate internal (female) thread eg. a nut available and to try this on the cut thread. If the fit is too tight then another cut or pass must be made on the lathe. If you are cutting both male and female threads to match then cut the female thread first and use it to check the cutting of the male thread. Submitted by Bill Lavery
Taps and dies are used in threading. To make an internal thread, you drill a hole smaller than the thread width, then slowly screw a 'tap' into it cutting a thread very slowly. -For an external thread, you choose a rod or bolt larger than the final thread, then screw a hard, threaded disc down onto it.
You need an internal thread chaser to do it. They come in a set with the external thread chaser.

The tool for cutting internal threads is called a tap. A tool for cutting external threads is called a die.

The difference between internal flush and full hole thread is that the roots of the full-hole tool joints are rounded, and the roots for the internal-flush joints are flat.
The major diameter is the diameter of the crest of the thread. Use a Vernier gage and mesure the diameter of the crest points of contact ( maximum external thread diameter). Unified National thread series defines the expected major diamter and tolerance. For internal threads ( nuts) the major diameter is the diameter of the roots of the thread.
