Here's your basic thread profile, taken from Machinery's Handbook , 20th edition, page 1275.
Using basic trigonometry, tan( 30 ) = (p/2) / H, so H = p/( 2 * tan( 30 )),
or H = 0.866 p
Since the typical tool is a sharp pointed V, the threads we create will
extend all the way to the points (at the bottom).
