3 tries and 3 fails to make a 1/4 20 thread

Couldn't see your compound, so I ask the question about the 29 1/2 degree angle.
29 1/2 degrees from the X axis or the Z axis?
Some compounds are marked with zero one way and some another way.. On some compounds, setting the angle at 29 1/2 degrees to thread will indeed make a mess.

Thanks Forty Niner. That was in deed my problem! I was 90 degrees off.
