What is a thermochemical calorie (cal (th))?

It is a unit of energy defined exactly as 4.184 joules, used historically for thermal energy measurements.

When is it useful to convert calorie (th) to ounce-force inch?

This conversion is useful when interpreting thermal energy measurements in terms of mechanical torque or small work.

Why should I be cautious using ounce-force inch?

Because it is a non-SI unit with limited modern usage and can lead to confusion without proper context.
