Page 36 Thread Milling Cycle WARNING: The first move in this cycle is a rapid move to the center of the thread before moving the Z-axis. Make sure the tool is properly located before calling up this cycle. Thread Milling Cycle simplifies the programming required to mill a thread.
Page 37 3. Enter the following required values and settings in the Thread Mill entry fields: XCenter Absolute X coordinate of the center of the thread. If no coordinate is entered, the CNC puts the center of thread as the current tool position.

(Optional) NOTE: If ArcInRad is a positive value or not set and the thread is “inside,” the cycle will always return to the center between passes. If ArcInRad is a negative value, the cutter will move to the start or end point that is closest to the center if inside thread, and farthest away from center if outside thread.
