Threading

This cycle realizes inside threads only with a helical contouring toolpath.

Two types of tools are available, the thread cutter and the thread bar. In both cases, the pitch is defined in the tool page.

Key Points

Threading: Choose threading characteristics including outside threading, threading pitch, and threading direction.
Toolpath: Choose the appropriate machining toolpath with the options Machining type, Machining or Toolpath.
