Standard Threadmills

Multiple passes are recommended when threading steel to achieve the proper thread form and size. The feedrate should be reduced by 50% when beginning the cut to ramp into it. Coolant blasting is recommended instead of recutting chips. A threadmill can produce various thread sizes with the same pitch. The document then provides a table with recommendations for thread milling speeds and feeds according to material type.
