8 <N Any tool with a small cutting diameter can produce large diameter threads d=Thread Diameter C/5 .
Example: Internal thread M30 x 1.5: Find a Milling Tool to produce d=30 mm Internal right hand ISO thread with a thread pitch P=1.5 mm. As can be seen from the chart above, the two red lines
intersect at a selected tool with a cutting diameter of D=21 mm
