THREADING METHODS

THREADING DEPTH

Features Advantages Disadvantages

  • Easy to use.
  • Long chips generated during the

V (Standard program for threading.) final pass.

  • Superior resistance to vibration.
  • Complex calculation of cutting

(Constant cutting force.) depth when changing the number

of passes.

Fixed cut area

  • Reduced load on nose radius
  • Subject to vibration in the later

during the first half of the passes. stages of cutting.

(Increased cutting force) X1 Easy chip control. (Optional setting of chip thickness)

  • In some cases, changing the NC
  • Easy to calculate cutting depth program is necessary.

X2 when changing the number of passes. Fixed cutting depth Good chip control. * It is recommended to set the depth of cut of the final pass to 0.05 mm 0.025 mm. Large cutting depths can cause vibration, leading to a poor surface finish. y Formulas aFormulas to calculate infeed for each pass in a reduced series.
