Imagine a Wire-rope hoist drum, You need the grooves to be as close to each other as possible, So I've been experimenting for over a week now on this little chestnut.
https://youtu.be/_VgqQ8U5V8w
Shows the scenario Now matter what (including a Compound) Part Boolean Cut & Part D. Boolean cut. It will not give me the 'w' groove profile obtained when Pitch = rope Dia.
Perhaps this is a bug & needs to be reported?

Re: Boolean Helix Bug
Pitch = Radius => usual coplanarity problem
Pitch = Radius + 0.0001 => OK
Pitch = Radius + 0.0001 => OK

Re: Boolean Helix Bug
No need to report. It is known, comes from OCC kernel, and I learned from other users, that at least some of the big boys have similar limitations.

Re: Boolean Helix Bug
Hhey thx for the reply,
I did try and upload the file, perhaps the storages is full? its a small file 4.4kb attachment error shown. I did also try that trick with the pitch +0.1mm even but for what ever reason the pitch will not generate below1.25*Rope Dia. Is there some other way I can get the file across?

Re: Boolean Helix Bug
Thx Shalmenser,
Using primitives and a different train of thought I was able to produce the results shown

Frustration there's a bug in part design I imagine the problem may be worse with Multi-start threads in 'Part Design'? -New isn't always better

Re: Boolean Helix Bug
I just tested: I could upload a 400K file. So no problem on this side.
