I, typically, don't use MMC on a thread if it doesn't need it. Most of the time it's a .005 or .010 TP and we don't need it. On the occasion we have a thread that skirts with being out of tolerance, we might apply it then. I was never certain about what diameter of the thread got the bonus, just always went with the minor as it was the only one I could measure. But is the Pitch diameter the one that SHOULD get the bonus?
Also, we have a 2mm shank probe that we use regularly without any issues. However, I prefer to use a regular sphere probe and pitch function. Interesting thread though.
