You’ll need a scientific calculator and the handy Machinery’s Handbook for thread specification and G-code help.

After your threads are complete you’ll want to make sure they are accurate. If you still have some questions about measuring threads there are different ways to do it. Grab Matt’s video on measuring threads here.
