STANDARD OF DEPTH OF CUT  
  • The chart on the right shows the cutting depths when machining external ISO metric screw threads.
  • When you use Cermet grades or cut stainless steel, please increase the number of passes by 2-3 times.

(Note) The first pass causes a high load on the cutting edge.
In order to avoid damage, keep the depth of cut to 0.4-0.5mm maximum.

CUTTING FORM
Radial Infeed Flank Infeed
Radial Infeed
  • General threading.
  • Thread pitch ≤4mm.
Flank Infeed
  • Low workpiece rigidity or occurrence of chattering.
  • Difficult-to-cut materials such as stainless steel.
  • Thread pitch ≥4mm.
