Feed per tooth per revolution (f in mm/rev). z The specified values are the recommended starting values for machining the full thread depth in one pass.

THREAD MILLS – FEED PER TOOTH TABLE

How to use this table to find the feed per tooth (f ): z 1. Find your Alpha Code on the product page (example: 181B, “B“ is the Alpha Code). 2. Select the column matching your cutter diameter in the top row of the table with the Thread pitch P or TPI (in the rows with icons on the left). 3. Find your Alpha Code in the left column of the table. 4. The intersection (cell) of the Diameter + Pitch column and Alpha Code is the feed per tooth (fz).

Correction of the feed per tooth for multiple passes: 5. In case the thread is being machined in 2 passes the feed values mentioned in the table should be increased by 30 to 40%. 6. In case the thread is being machined in 3 passes the feed values mentioned in the table should be increased by 55 to 65%. 7. In case the thread is being machined in 4 passes the feed values mentionedin the table should be increased by 80 to 90%. (Example: J2003.2X.7 machining WMG M4.1 with feed rate A in 4-passes the fz = 0.017×1.80 = 0.031 mm/z).
