Threading
The principle steps in selecting a

toolholder, insert and threading method.

Threading
1. The choice of method
The method selected depends on:
1. The thread (internal, external, left or right hand, ...).

2. Type of machine.
3. Threading towards or away from the chuck.

LH Thread RH Thread
RH Tool RH Tool
RH Thread LH Thread
LH Tool LH Tool

Threading
2. The choice of insert
– Thread profile (e.g. metric ISO).

– The threading pass (e.g. 1 mm).
– The type of toolholder (e.g. CER).
Threading
– The threading pass (e.g. 1 mm).

3. The choice of toolholder
– Shank dimension according to machine.

– Insert size.
– Insert clamping system.

4. The choice of anvil
– Insert size.
– Left or right hand thread.
– Lead angle (Ø and lead).

Threading
4. Choice of the anvil (lead angle, inclination)
Lead angle (inclination)

Lead = Pitch Lead angle
Lead
λ° = Helix
Lead diam x π
(Single start thread) Lead angle
Lead = Pitch = Axial movement of the thread.

Threading
Lead angle (inclination)
Determines:
- Correct clearance angle.
- Symetrical cut.
- Correct profile.
Correct positioning of the insert ensures regular wear and better surface
finish.

8. Roughing (with turning toolholder, with grooving insert,
with MDT, ...)
Always check the clearance angle (in relation to the lead angle of the thread).
