Choosing the tool for the Thread Milling Operation

SolidCAM uses operation tools of Tap type for the Thread Milling operation.

SolidCAM searches the suitable tool for the operation according to the following criteria:

  • The tool must be of Tap type.

  • The Thread diameter of the tool must be equal to the Thread diameter defined in the Technological solution (hr_segm_diameter).

  • The Pitch of the tool must be equal to the Pitch defined in the Technological solution (hr_segm_pitch).

These parameters are specified in the Operation template of the specific Technological solution. SolidCAM searches for the suitable tool in the Part Tool Library. If the tool is not found, SolidCAM defines a new tool according to the data of the Operation Template.
