      <title>Threaded Holes</title>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Just wanted to post some comments about threaded holes in Fusion and their impact on Fusion CAM.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The way I see threaded holes being modeled is the hole is created and then threads are applied. &amp;nbsp;A thread depth can be specified, however the entire cylinder is treated as one hole.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;In SW/HSMWorks you can have the holes modeled as a counter drilled hole. &amp;nbsp;This provides you with 2 different cylinders to select from. &amp;nbsp;You can select the lower drill hole segment and use merge segments to drill. &amp;nbsp;You can then select the upper poriton which is the tap size and this can control the tap or thread mill depth. &amp;nbsp;If you need to tap deeper you can use the through bottom and specify an amout to tap deeper to account for the lead of the tap. &amp;nbsp;If you edit the operation it is easy to see the dimension in the through depth to know how much you are over tapping but.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The second issue is for one there are no NPT threaded hole. &amp;nbsp;I have seen this in the idea station so I am sure it has already bee brought up. &amp;nbsp;However I looked at the pipe threads that are available and the all appear to just model a straight hole and not tappered. &amp;nbsp;Again in the SW/HSMWorks program you can model the NPT threads as a counterbore that has the proper taper and diameters of the NPT major diameter. &amp;nbsp;This allows you to thread mill the NPT thread with a single point thread mill or a multi-tooth. &amp;nbsp;When tread milling a tappered thread the tool needs to start at the bottom and increase the&amp;nbsp;diameter as it moves up the hole.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Is there a work around in Fusion for NPT threads? &amp;nbsp;Anyone milling NPT threads in Fusion?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;IMG alt="hole optoins.png" border="0" src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/157737iC0781C79A2CE4D8A/image-size/original?v=mpbl-1&amp;amp;px=-1" title="hole optoins.png" /&gt;&lt;IMG alt="tapped hole.png" border="0" src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/157738i53E195DC21A21E32/image-size/original?v=mpbl-1&amp;amp;px=-1" title="tapped hole.png" /&gt;&lt;IMG alt="hole optoins.png" border="0" src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/157739i5776C8C03C7F57D8/image-size/original?v=mpbl-1&amp;amp;px=-1" title="hole optoins.png" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi lonniecady,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I can answer two of your questions related to modeling in Fusion. &amp;nbsp;There are other CAM experts that can help you with any CAM-specific questions.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;First, yes, Fusion does support counterbore and countersunk holes:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;IMG src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/157824i2A6A1E89D6F32584/image-size/original?v=mpbl-1&amp;amp;px=-1" border="0" alt="holes 1.png" title="holes 1.png" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;With this resulting geometry:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;IMG src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/157825iEEC3B6A42DC06539/image-size/original?v=mpbl-1&amp;amp;px=-1" border="0" alt="holes 2.png" title="holes 2.png" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Threads can be applied to either cylinder. &amp;nbsp;In this case, I chose the lower cylinder:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;IMG src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/157826i77E559776D7117C3/image-size/original?v=mpbl-1&amp;amp;px=-1" border="0" alt="holes 3.png" title="holes 3.png" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;For now, we have implemented&amp;nbsp;threads and holes as separate features. &amp;nbsp;We have discussed combining them, but for now our short-term plan is to keep them separate.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;For your second question, regarding NPT threads: &amp;nbsp;No, unfortuately, today we do not support NPT threads. &amp;nbsp;It is certainly on our list to support in the future, but we have not yet gotten around to it.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;OK, I'll leave you to the CAM experts now.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;@jeff.strater,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks for the response. &amp;nbsp;I realize NPT are supported yet and have voted for it in the idea station &lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://forums.autodesk.com/html/@D5D66E11BC96A1C8427F98151D3E9A7A/emoticons/1f642.png" alt=":slightly_smiling_face:" title=":slightly_smiling_face:" /&gt; . &amp;nbsp;However it was more to point out that even the BSP threads you do support don't provide a taperd hole to drive the thread mill. &amp;nbsp;However I am not sure if the are supposed to be BSPP or BSPT since is just says BSP pipe threads.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Just wanted to bring it to someones attention when it is NPT are implemented some other considerations from the CAM side.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;This may be somewhat pedantic, but I think there should be a threaded hole type in addition to what exists currently.&amp;nbsp; I know you can make a counterbore and then apply threads to the lower portion, but then it's not really a counterbore.&amp;nbsp; There should also be an option for a near side or far side countersink.&amp;nbsp; Being able to individually select the hole bottom, threaded face, and top side chamfer really does make things easier when programming for machining operations.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;C|&lt;/P&gt;</description>
