Question. When single pointing a pipe thread is the threading tool 90 deg. to the thread or to the center line of the part?

Wrong forum, but to answer the question... 90 deg to centerline.

How is this the wrong forum, its a CNC programming related question?.
All turning tools are set up to the centerline.
If you need to learn how to write a threading Canned Cycle, look at youtube, put in my name: Heinz Putz, to see a DVD to start learning.
In my job as an independent CNC trainer, I have made many, many pipe threads for Oilfield parts, in cluding one foe a 3000 HP motor for a company in Corpus Christi, that was real fun.

90° to the centerline.
