Step-by-Step Thread Milling Example

Appendix A
Derivation of Formulas for Internal Thread Milling
R_e, β, and X can be found by a geometric analysis of the entry path.
This entry path is defined by the tool traveling along a circular path, with a radius of R_e about the point C.
R_e =	(R_i - C_L)² + R_o²
	2R_o
Triangle OAC enables us to simply solve for R_e.Note that OAC is a right angle triangle, and that:
OA = R_i – C_L CA = R_e OC = R_o – R_e
Pythagoras’ law states: OA² + OC² = AC²
Replacing actual values, we get:
(R_i - C_L)² + (R_o - R_e)²= R_e²
Simplifying, we get:
R_e =	(R_i - C_L)² + R_o²
	2R₀

Find the angle β.

sin
	= arc sin	(	R_o - R_e	)
			R_e
Therefore, β = 90° + arc sin		(	R_o - R_e	)
			R_e

Simplifying, we get:

	2R_i

Find the angle β.

	• Insufficient coolant.	• Increase coolant quantity/pressure.
chipping of cutting edge	• Chip is too thick.	• Reduce feed rate. • Use the tangential arc method of entrance. • Increase RPM.
chipping of cutting edge	• Vibration.	• Check rigidity.
material build-up on the cutting edge	• Cutting speed too slow.	• Increase cutting speed.
material build-up on the cutting edge	• Chip thickness too small.	• Increase feed rate.
chatter/vibration	• Feed rate is too high.	• Reduce the feed.
	• Profile is too deep (coarse pitch threads).	• Execute two passes, each with increased cutting depth. • Execute two passes, each cutting only half the thread length.
	• Thread length is too long.	• Execute two passes, each cutting only half of the thread length.
insufficient thread accuracy	• Tool deflection.	• Reduce feed rate. • Execute a zero cut.
