Geez, that was so obvious (after you said it, of course).
Sometimes I think if brains were dynamite I couldn't blow my own nose.
I'm using a single point insert, because that's all we have at the moment. And it does throw up a burr on the crests. My thought of using the threading tool was to avoid another tool change. We didn't get the turret option with our TL, but I kind of wish we had.
I suppose I could use the parting tool to skim the crests just before I cut off the part. Otherwise I'm ending up using some Scotchbrite after the fact.
Thanks, Greg B.
