Given Data
Thread:
Right-hand internal thread M64 x 1.5
Pitch P: 1.5 mm
Start angle A,: 0"
End angle A,: 360" = 0" at Z, = 0
Thread revolutions n+ 8
Thread overrun
l
at start of thread ns: 0.5
l
at end of thread r-y 0.5
Number of cuts: 1

Calculating the input values
l
Total height H: H = P.n
P=1.5mm
n = nT + ns + nE = 8 + 0.5 + 0.5 = 9
H = 1.5 mm.9 = 13.5 mm
l
Incremental polar coordinate angle IPA:
IPA = n 360"
n = 9 (see total height H)
IPA = 36OO.9 = 3240"
l
Start angle A, with thread overrun ns
ns = 0.5
n = 1 = 360". n = 0.5 = 180" (half a revolution)
The starting angle of the helix is advanced by 180". With positive
rotation this means that A, with ns = A, - 180" = -180"
l
Starting coordinate: Z = P,(n, + ns) = -1.5.8.5 mm = -12.75
Note:
l
The thread is being cut in an upward direction towards Z, = 0; there-
fore Z, is negative.
