THREAD MILLING TOOLS USER GUIDE Thread Milling CNC Program for Internal Thread Internal Thread Right-hand thread (climb milling) from bottom up. Example: M 48x2.0 IN-RH Program is based on tool center. (Thread depth 25 mm) This method of programming needs no tool radius Toolholder: MTSR0029 J30 compensation value other than an offset for wear. (Cutting dia. 29 mm) Insert: MT30 I2.0ISO A = Do –2 D A = Radius of tool path A =(Do-D)/2=(48-29)/2=9.5Do =Major thread diameterA/2=4.75 D = Cutting diameter (Tool compensation of radius=0) G90 G0 G54 G43 G17 H1X0 Y0 Z10 S1320 G0 Z-25 General Program G01 G91 G41 D1X 4.75 Y-4.75 Z0 F41 G90 G00 G54 G43 H1X0 Y0 Z10 S...
