I saw the design on a forum but can't remember which one or when I saw it. I still have to grind a slight helix angle but after that I think it should work well.

Shawn,

I would try it as is. That type of tool and thread form has enough clearance that you probably won't need allow for the helix angle, unless maybe you try to cut 4 threads per inch.
