Thread Milling step over

Thread Milling step over

 it would be nice if there was an option to step over in percentages. Harvey Tool  recommended me to drop my step over by 5% every pass when cutting 65 hrc A2 . i guess it is to keep your chip load the same.  so for a 5/16- 18 thread they wanted me to take 5 passes starting at 30% of my total step over and working down from there and the finishing pass being 10%

The step-over reduction also applies to profile-milling (form-tool) and would be greatly appreciated.

The stepover can be driven by using expressions in the operation. For example, using "tool_Diameter*0.05" would use 5% tool diameter for the stepover.

The idea was to be able to decrees the step over per pass as the tool has more load every pass as it cuts deeper.
