I'm digging into the spec for M profile metric threads and their manufacture
with full profile inserts.
For external threading does anyone know the nose radius dimension/formula for the full profile inserts? I've
searched Vardex, Iscar, Korloy etc but can only find mention of this for partial profile inserts.
Also, am I correct in thinking that from the compound infeed of my old 0TA for a FP insert there will only ever
be a root profile which matches the nose radius of the insert and does not have any 'flat-ish' portion to it?
If so, does this mean that to be within tolerance the programmed minor diameter of an external thread has to be
quite close to the minimum allowable diameter?
