Select the profile, click Construct-Sweep and select the Helix Rail. Select both solids and click Construct-Boolean Union. Draw a horizontal line at the top of the jar and click Boolean Merge to trim.

Hi Gunter, you want the Sweep command for that, not Rail revolve.
Some examples:

Hey Michael,
When I sweep the thread profile along the helix, I notice the profile of the thread seems to change as it goes down the z axis:
No idea why it does this and how to resolve it?
Many thanks!
Gunter

Hi Gunter, you need to set the "Twist = Flat" option in the sweep options:

Hi Gunter
If you copy your spiral rail downwards so there are 2 and do a 2 rail sweep of the thread profile.
This will stop it from deforming
cheers
