British pipe thread milling

[SlaveCam]

Why is there no option for british pipe thread (55 angle) when defining a thread milling tool? They are the second most common threads in our shop after metric.

(I know that practically it doesn't matter because I just choose metric and go with it, but I can't help but ask why)

Ive often wondered this myself. It is the same for threading on a lathe.

Because you guys are supposed to be doing your Duty to this Country and telling any commie Frenchman who tries to use metric to get their head out of their butt and switch over to Freedom Units.

I'm being sarcastic, of course. It would be useful as sometimes to need to see exactly where a tooth might cut. Only way around it is to use custom defined tools.
