What you need to know • Thread milling can be easily accomplished with simple G code programming • If your machine is capable of 3 axis (helical) interpolation, you can and should be thread milling • Basic programming of a one pass thread mill can be achieved in 6 basic steps BARRENADO

The following are examples of how to calculate and program a M16x2 right hand thread that will be 10mm deep produced in one pass Major thread diameter 16mm Major diameter of thread Threads per inch (only applies to imperial threads) Length of thread 10mm Desired length of cut Velocity 221 M/min Recommended velocity for material to be cut Feed per flute 0.038mm/tooth Recommended feed rate per cutting edge Number of flutes 4 Number of flutes on tool to be used Cutter diameter 11.94mm Diameter of cutting tool Using the informaƟon above, the values can be calculated: Pitch 2.0mm Use 1/ threads per inch for imperial Speed 5895 RPM (318.47 • M/min) / cutter diameter or (SFM • 3.82) / cutter diameter Linear feed 896.04mm/min RPM • (Feed per flute • Number of flutes) Feed rate for thread milling 227.37mm/min ((Major thread diameter - cutter diameter) / Major thread diameter) • Linear feed Z-axis travel on arc on 0.25mm (Pitch / 8) Z-axis travel for full thread 10.25mm (Pitch / 8) + Length of cut Arc on/off 1.015mm (Major thread diameter - cutter diameter) / 4 Full rotation value 2.030mm (Major thread diameter - cutter diameter) / 2
