Hello, I need advice
I am about to purchase the Baxter's Thread Master and they are asking me what size Thread head do I want to purchase. Each head ( measured in Pitch - ie 8,13,16,20,24 pitch) Cost $109 dollars. Very steep - Hence for now I just want to buy one. the mechanical threader can thread up to 5 inch diameter. I want to do most size boxes.

Question: Does any one have experiance with the different sizes that you can tell me pro's and cons of each or which you prefer? I know I can go middle line and get 16 pitch but I rather make and educated decision rather than close my eyes and pick the middle.

thank you for your help. I am very excited about chasing my boxes.
