Yes I can see that we are going to have to have a video to sort out this problem
I have found that cutting threads can do so easy once you understand the principles such as compound at 29 degrees, tool bit razor sharp, and at 60 Degrees. But then something will always come along to kick us in the teeth that says this isn't as easy as we thought.
I would definitely put some dykem of marker pen on the tool bit to check for rubbing on the sides of the bit, you may need to cut a steeper relief on the leading edge of the bit. I always grind a slight relief on the top also so that I can get a much sharper cutting edge on the leading side of the bit.
