Thank you for the confirmation.
I have a 'somewhat' related question that will highlight my current inexperience with F360 CAM, and is something I have always been unsure about.
For my M6 thread I programmed my thread mill with a 1 mm thread pitch (TP) and a pitch diameter offset (PDO) of 1.1557 mm. Am I correct in that the thread depth will be PDO/2 or 1.1557/2 = 0.5779 mm. And if my pilot hole is 5 mm in diameter, then the total thread cut width would be 5 mm + 1.1557 = 6.1557 mm?
What therefore are the differing results if I choose to have:
1) no multiple passes/stepovers?
2) 1 stepover @ 0.5mm? (total=0.5mm)
3) 4 stepovers @ 0.5mm? (total=2mm)
4) 4 stepovers @ 0.05mm? (total=0.15mm)
Does F360 give an error if the stepovers surpass what the TP/PDO values call for?
If the total stepovers I program are too small, does the last pass make up the difference called for by the TP/PDO values?
Hopefully my examples and questions make sense.
