Hey guys, I have a part that has come in for repair. The male part is being re made however the female is not. The thread on it is a buttress thread. The problem I'm having is 1, I have never cut a buttress thread before. I do have an insert for the pitch I need though. 2, The OD of the male thread is 2.671 with a 12 pitch. This is a very odd size. Can't tell if its worn or if thats normal(2-41/64?) 3, how do you measure a buttress thread? Can you still use wires? I measured the ID of the female and its measuring 2.6". Something doesn't seem right as that would only leave .0355 single thread depth? Seems small. All I have is the worn out broken male and the female. Nothing else.
