NOTES:
-The Major Diameter is the part diameter listed to the left
-The cutter diameter is the tool diameter listed to the left
-The pitch is the number of threads per inch (see chart above)
- The full thread depth is the depth listed to the left and is equal to L1 + L3 in the NPT specs
-SFM is the surface feet per minute to run the machine spindle. The program will
use the cutter diameter and this number to calculate the required RPM's. The
values for SFM for different materials are in the Feeds and Speeds chart
on the website or in the brochure. For pipe threads multiply the speed by .7
-Feed per tooth is the chipload per tooth required for that specific material. The
values for specific cutter diameters are listed in the Feeds and Speeds chart.
For pipe threads, multiply the chipload per tooth by .7
-The number of flutes can be found on the product offering/price list. The program
will use this, the RPM's and "/tooth to calculate the required inches per minute to
cut the thread.
