I guess if it is a 60 deg thread it would be forced to cut the standard cycle thread BSC. The only thing that could possibly be different would be the radii which is supposed to be .007", right? The thread height for the BSC thread is .0222. The picture shows very sharp tool peaks. One could always grind or file slightly if they were too sharp. I can measure it but not try to thread it into anything or chase something if I need to return it.
Do you think I could go wrong buying it? Another one costs double from MSC supply.
