Rough and Finish

This section enables you to define the parameters of thread roughing and finishing.

Rough

This section defines the parameters of the rough machining of the thread.

Single- This option ensures that only one rough path will be created with an offset of Finish Allowance from Major Thread Diameter (ID) / Minor Thread Diameter  (OD).

Multiple- This option allows creating multiple rough paths based on Major and Minor Thread Diameters and all parameters in this rough section.

First Step over- This parameter sets the first offset value of the rough path from Minor(ID) /Major(OD) thread diameter. Other offsets will be calculated automatically, but no calculated offset can be smaller than Minimal Step Over value.

Finish Allowance- This parameter sets the offset from the finish path and the last rough path. It is an offset from Major(ID) /Minor(OD) thread diameter.

Finish

This section enables you to perform the thread finishing.

The Number of passes parameter enables you to define the number of finish paths generated to achieve the best surface quality.

Start Angle

This parameter defines the start angle of the thread relative to the X-axis direction.
