In general a female thread is cut with a tap. A male thread is cut with a die.
Any time male/female is used to describe something in construction, it refers to which part fits into the other. The male threads into the female part. It is not a type of thread, but how it does it.
Female Pipe Thread.
Female pipe thread features an internal tapered or straight thread design that allows it to connect with male pipe threads. The internal threads are typically cut into the inside of a fitting or pipe, creating a snug fit when mated with a male counterpart. The most common types are NPT (National Pipe Tapered) and NPS (National Pipe Straight) threads, distinguished by their taper and shape. Female threads often appear as a smooth opening with visible grooves from the threading inside.
a helical groove in a cylindrical hole (female thread), formed by a tap or lathe tool, or a helical ridge on a cylindrical bar, rod, shank, etc
It's the depth of the cut from the crest of the surface down to the base on a bolt or screw.
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
Female Pipe Thread? FPT = Female Pipe Thread MPT = Male Pipe Thread also seen as FIPT and MIPT (female iron pipe thread and male iron pipe thread).
when a spiral groove is cut over a hole, then it is nut thread. when a spiral groove is cut over a shaft, then it is screw thread.
Pitches of thread shall be cut off.

In Greek mythology, the phrase "cut the thread of life" refers to the act of the Fates, who were three goddesses responsible for spinning, measuring, and cutting the thread that represented a person's life. When they decided it was time for someone to die, they would cut the thread, symbolizing the end of that person's life. So, in a nutshell, cutting the thread of life in Greek mythology means that your time is up, honey.
