Is threadmilling working in Fusion 360 Ultimate?
Will we see some tools added for single point threading and Standard threadmills?
I have a project coming up quickly that will need this function to work properly.
I need to make a fixture with 6-32 threaded holes to shorten some small screws.
Solved! Go to Solution.

A threadmilling strategy is part of Fusion 360 and Fusion 360 Ultimate (it is 2D strategy), but we do not currently support thread tools (or Form Tools) inside Fusion. We currently have an open ticket to add this support to our tool library, but I do not have an ETA for you on when the functionality will be added.

I should be able to just enter the outside diameter of my threadmill as a flat endmill like you describe and enter the pitch correct? Let me know if I misunderstood.

Looks like it should work fine. Single point M36x2 threads. 2mm pitch
Machine will arrive next week then the true test will come!

I used a slot cutter. Not perfect because it leaves a square thread, but at least I can see the thread pitch in simulation and get an idea of how far it is cutting...

I've had some success thread cutting using a form tool by importing it from SW/HSMXpress via Excel to the Fusion Tool Library or directly importing the .hsmlib file.
Screencast linked below as for some reason embedding has stopped working again and gives an invalid html warning.

Sorry for not following up on this.
I have used it a few times in Aluminum and TItanium making 4-40 threads using a Flat Endmill with the diameter of my threadmill as the tool. It has worked great so far after I figured out my tolerances needed for my threads.
