    machining angled thread

    I need to thread an inner diameter as shown in the attached picture.
    The problem is that the start and end diameter is different (conic) and need to produce quite a lot of this part. is there another way to threads this?? i can use the lathe but i need to mass produce this part. is there a ways to speed up the process? perhaps taps that go at an angle ? Thanks

    You haven't specified just what thread spec is required. Is this a standard NPT (pipe) thread, or a metric version of a pipe thread?

    Your best bet mill be to use a tap if you don't have a CNC machine or a manual machine with a taper attachment.

    Tell us what the thread specification is, what machine you have, and we can better help you.

    The core size nearly looks like a 1/2" BSPT ( British Standard Pipe Taper )
    But you still have to verify with the customer what he wants to fit into the part

    Code:
    "G: Series British Standard Pipe - Parallel ( Straight ) BSP or BSPF
    Also referred to as British Gas, British Pipe Parallel or Parallel Fastening thread.
    Various Symbols: BSP, BSPP, BSSPI, BSPF, BSPG, PS, R, G.
    Taps Marked " G Size I.S.O."
    ------------------------------------------
    "Rc: Series British Standard Pipe - Taper- BSPT
    Also referred to as British Standard Taper Pipe or Pipe Taper, or Conical Thread.
    Taper is 3/4" taper per foot ( 1 in 16 on the diameter)
    Various Symbols: BSPT, BSPTr, PT, KR, Rc.
    Taps Marked " Rc Size I.S.O."

    Your CNC lathe should have no trouble making a tapered thread with a single point tool.
