USER GUIDE Thread Milling CNC Program for Internal Thread Right-hand thread (climb milling) from bottom up. Program is based on tool center. This method of programming needs no tool radius compensation value, other than an offset for wear. Do – D A = Radius of tool path A = Y+ 2 Do = Major thread diameter D = Cutting diameter Major thread Dia. General Program G90 G00 G54 G43 H1X0 Y0 Z10 S...
