I agree with most everything you said about the advantages of thread milling. Great info, but given in such a generic format you left out some of the other disadvantages. Like the absolute need for a tread gage if thread milling (yes you could use a bolt, but how do you know if the bolt you fit it to is at high or low limit for the bolt tolerance). Thread milling super deep holes is also a huge PITA compared to tapping. Taps cost about 75% less than a thread mill in a 1 to 1 comparison as well, assuming your not buying the cheapest crap available.
If you are making a lot of holes a Go-No go gage is the way to go. They are costly but help quickly identify the quality of the dimensions. Great comments. Appreciate you and thanks for watching.
