Hi 

 

Creating this thread in design is actually quite difficult, I was able to come up with a very close approximation in the attached file.

You cant get it perfectly round on the top of the thread as that would cause issues with the sweep intersecting.

So I have made the major Diameter 23.99mm instead which leaves a tiny flat.

 

This isn't really that important anyway as its not a functional part of the thread.

I have to thank Mark @HughesTooling for several examples hes done in the past on how to do it.

 

I was quite surprised to find that Fusion doesn't have a helical cut type function.

You can program the thread in Fusion, but you cant define the insert correctly so the simulation will be bad, but the code will be correct

 

Heres an insert from iscar
