I was putting together a design for a tangential turning and facing tool holder and was curious if the tangential design could be leveraged for threading. I understand that a regular tangential tool holder can be leveraged for threading by cutting additional angles to the tool. That's not what I'm after. I did some sketching in Fusion 360 and found that if you angle the tool from corner to corner about 35 degrees then the included angle of the sides is just under 60 degrees.
I haven't seen this done this way, but I haven't looked too deeply. Am I missing something? Am I looking at this correctly?
