    This program has the Work Zero at the center of the hole and Z zero at the top of the material and it uses Tool Compensation which is entered by the G10 command. I have not accurately calculated the diameter for the thread so you would need to do that, I am just using 30mm to make it easy. Also this is just the thread milling part so you would need to interpolate the hole first.


    G10 L12 G90 P1 R10.0 Enter the tool diameter
    G00 X0. Y0. Z1. Move to the hole center
    Z-25.0 Move to the starting depth
    G41 D01 G01 Y10. F25. Set tool compensation but do not enter the cut yet
    G03 R12.5 Y-15. This does a halfcircle counterclockwise so the tool enters the cut tangentially and ends at a radius of 15mm G91 G03 I0. J15. Z1. L26 This does 26 circles incrementing up 1.0mm at each circle so the tool ends above the work
    G90 G40 Y0. Z1.0 This changes back to absolute, cancels tool compemsation and move clear of the work
