Thank You, I'm a FreeCad Beginner, never had used Part Design. I was only using PART and adding basic shapes doing union and cut, thread was a big no no for me.. Now I know how to do it..

Thank you so much for the help. Congratulations 👏

Thank you starting out on Freecad and the other methods people showed did not make much sense.

[@fonitronik]

Exactly what I needed. Thank you. The new threaded hole function in freecad .20 does not offer i.e. M6x0.5, so I will have to do it this way. Now I just have to figure out the correct metric dimensions for the thread I need.

[@abansalify]

Hole has an option for ISO threads. Why not use that?

[@fonitronik]

Because it only has a few presets. It dies not create I e. the M6x0.5 thread I need.

You lost me when you were using those archaic inches. Without explaining where all these "magic" numbers come from this video is not very useful.

A unit is a unit. An increment is an increment.
I probably got the Hex Head & Nut Dimensions from www.wermac.org/bolts/dimensions_heavy-hex-nuts_asme-B18-2-2_used-with-stud-bolts-asme-B16-5.html or some other online reference.
Thread dimensions probably came from United Thread Standard at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Thread_Standard.
