Apply the tool to the program. Mill the thread from top to bottom. The "THREADCUTTER" is used for this (F 0.08 mm/tooth, v 150 m/min and pitch 2 mm). A right thread is to be milled to Z-23 (absolute dimension). Due to the overtravel of 3 mm, the thread is always milled cleanly down to the workpiece lower edge even if the lowest tooth is slightly worn. The help screens are very useful for the Compare your entries with the figure below: Figure 9-59 Thread milling Accept the entered values.
