The pitch is determined by the tool used.
Z2
Retraction amount before thread milling
The thread depth in the direction of the tool axis is defined using Z2. Z2 is relative to
the tool tip.

Climbing - conventional: Mill thread in two cycles: rough cutting is performed by
•
conventional milling with defined allowances, then finish cutting is performed by
climb milling with milling feedrate FS.
