agree  wolfheart: I agree with you answer, but not with the explanation: le filetage est continu d'une extrémité à l'autre comme 'le' sillon de disque 45 tours
15 mins
  -> Je suis tout à fait d'accord avec vous. Dans un filetage continu, la distance entre les sillons (filets) est régulière. Je ne vois pas de contradiction avec la définition :)
agree  Tony M: Yes, and your explanation is OK, except pedantically the 'pas' is the longitudinal spacing between 2 'spires' of the single 'filet'

filets


Explanation:
Il s'agit du résultat de l'opération (filetage). En principe, on ne nettoie pas un filetage, mais bien des filets.
Voir le GDT et Termium : threading désigne l'opération de filetage ou usinage de filets.
