If you are cutting external threads by hand and you start the die at an angle, the threads will _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) be cut crooked on the work.
If you start a die at an angle when cutting external threads by hand, the threads will be cut crooked on the work. This is because the die needs to be perpendicular to the work surface in order to cut straight, even threads. Starting the die at an angle will cause the threads to be misaligned and crooked, rather than smooth and uniform.
The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) the threads will not straighten out, B) the threads will be out of round, and D) the threads will not necessarily be rough, weak, and easily broken, but rather just crooked in appearance.
