Threading tab

You can use the Threading tab of the Turning Feature Properties dialog to edit the machining settings for a Thread feature.

Some of the Threading attributes are shown on this diagram:

End clearance

Withdraw angle

Depth

Start clearance

Clearance

Infeed angle

Height

Clearance

End clearance — Enter the distance that the tool feeds past the end of the thread (into the relief groove) before retracting from the part's surface.

End point

Infeed angle — Enter an unsigned, incremental value from the positive Z axis.

Priority

Start clearance — This value is the position to which the tool traverses before engaging into the workpiece.

Start point

Start threads — If set to 1, a single thread is created. If set to 2 or 3, multiple start threads are created. The number of threads per inch (or per mm) for each thread is divided by the number of threads. For example, if you create a thread with 10 threads per inch with 2 start threads, then each thread is 5 threads per inch 180 apart.

Tool change location is the point where the tip of the tool moves before a tool change.

Note: You can set this at a global machine level in the Post Options dialog.
