It seems most threaded boxes are chased at 16 to 20 threads per inch. I was thinking with a segmented box its all long grain chasing. It would be easy to thread at somewhere between 8 to 12 threads per inch. In my mind the coarser thread would decrease the chances of cross threading. I could also make it a loose fit (think sloppy) and that would insure the fit doesn't get to tight from seasonal wood movement.
Thoughts?
I didn't want to make a coarse chasing tool just to find out it doesn't work.
