When lathe cutting threads how do you measure external screw threads to know they have been cut deep enough?

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

What does end off mean in crochet?

In crocheting, to end off means to cut the yarn or crochet thread and tie it so that it cannot unravel. What I usually do is cut the thread for enough for at least five knots. Then I do a single stich, pulling the cut thread through the loop that was on the hook. Then I tie at least two knots.
