UNF/UNC threaded rod

[reox]

Today I was in the need of unified thread standard rods. I patched screwmaker to generate me the 5/16-24 thread: https://github.com/shaise/FreeCAD_FastenersWB/compare/master...reox:master

I do not know much about inch threads but it seems they are quite the same as the metric ones (except withworth of course...) So maybe it is worth to integrate more inch threads - but I think it will get quite messy because of all the patching of methods that rely on the metric character... (if you want to take this seriously, I think you would need to add a lot imperial screws and nuts as well...)

So maybe someone want to take a look at this - or hint me to a workbench that has threaded rods in all variants (I would like to have trapezoidal as well...)

I support @reox I think we should have threaded rods.

@reox It looks like you can get the result with the Screw Tap!

[reox]

@hhassey what do you mean by Screw Tap? Unfortunately I have no clue what you mean :/

I, too, would like to see SAE threads available in the threaded rod tool.

Any plans to support US standards, UNC/UNF threads? @shaise
