Nice work whatever they are, LOL. Maybe I asked you this already but on your regular V thread inserts, are you modifying point to suit the larger sizes? I noticed when I was drawing them in CAD using Machineries Handbook root calculation, they are surprisingly wide. I know they categorize the inserts by pitch range which should ?be the average or the minimum? But I am guilty of using a generic sharpy for bigger threads & they would have quite a pointed root. I know you mentioned the other style of insert you like which terminates on the OD or something. Maybe that was the buttress thread project. My memory is great, just very short span haha

This thread is 1/2"-20 UNF. Therefore the depth of the thread is 0.027", and the root width is 1/4 x P = 0.0125".
The threading insert I used, shown above, has a tip width of approximately 0.004".
So I plunge thread the screw with the cross-slide until I get to the required depth of 0.027". But the root is only as wide as the threading insert tip width, in this case 0.004". So to get the proper root width of 0.0125", I make more passes at full depth, 0.027", but I advance the compound axially 0.001" or 0.002" with each successive pass until I've gone 0.009", (required root with: 0.0125"- threading insert tip width: 0.004") (I set the compound so that it is at 0°, its travel is parallel to the bed ways.)
