How to make internal threading bar in tool library?

I have searched and tried everything and can't find out how.  I have a 5/8" threading bar that I use all the time and I'm trying to do internal thread in a .810" hole.  It doesn't matter what size I make the insert and the tool holder, it doesn't give me enough clearance to thread hole.  I'm trying to model all my lathe tools, and it appears boring bars are an issue. 

 

Any help is appreciated.

Just came looking for the same reason. Seems utterly absurd that there is no capability to create an ID threading tool? Unless I've missed something....

 

It's a very basic tool.

The attached design contains a thread boring tool. There's nothing else in the file, just open and copy the tool from this design into your own library.

Thanks, found the solution already. Face threading tool turned 90 degrees for anyone who finds this post looking for the same thing.

 

Or just copy the tool posted above and edit to suit ^^

Well, I have tried opening file, saving file, uploading file into fusion, etc and nothing seems to work.  

 

How do I get that tool into my tool library?  When I open it into Fusion 360 it doesn't show anything.  Can you please walk me through the steps of getting it into my tool library please?  Sorry, I'm sure this is basic stuff, but I can't get it done.

In fusion, load the .f3d file under file > start new project from file

Once done go to cam page > tool library. Under the project tool library (should be called untitled) you will find the tool. Copy & paste into your own tool library.

Thanks for the template. I'm a little surprised there is not a ID threading setup in Fusion by default.

Thanks, that's an easy solution. Just what I was missing. Checking round shank helps with clearance for simulation.
