    thread milling help

    need example for milling an internal 1.375 x 28 tpi x .312 deep thread with a single point cutter.

    there is a center island (.75 diam) so I have to use a small thread tool to fit.

    thanks

    Let's try for a 1/4" dia. thread tool? If you need to make a thread at more than one location on the part, you should probably use nested subprograms. Store cutter radius in D01. Try this one ABOVE the part. Good luck.

    O1000 (MAIN PROGRAM)
    N1 G0 G17 G40 G80 G90
    T01 M06
    G00 G54 G90 X0 Y0 S6000 M03 (POSITION TO CENTER)
    G43 Z0.1 H01 M08
    M98 P1001 (CALL SUB)
    X5.0 Y0 (POSITION TO 2ND CENTER)
    M98 P1001 (CALL SUB)
    G0 G91 G28 Z0 M05
    G90 M30

    O1001 (1-3/8 - 28 THREAD MILL SUB)
    G91 X0.51 (POSITION OFF THE ISLAND)
    G01 Z-.5 F20. (FEED TO 0.400 DEEP)
    G41 X0.1775 D01 F1.0 (APPLY CRC)
    M98 P121002 (CALL HELICAL SUB 12 TIMES)
