Im cutting a 1/2 - 10 tpi acme thread that will elevate the torch. When I ground the cutter I got the tip width a little wide, closer to the width required for 9 tpi. According to the thread gauge I have. As a result at .055 inch thread depth (rather than .060) the pitch dia came into tolerance by the 3 wire method. Will that be a problem when I try to make the nut. Not sure if I'll make a tap or try to single point the nut.
If I drill the pilot hole for the female thread 10 thou over will that correct the shallower root on the male thread?

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
