a/ Comprises cutting a part that has already been drilled and
bored to obtain a spacer or washer,
b/ Use a cutting tool. Bring the tool tip to the same height as
the axis (again using shims) or a little below the part centre,
c/ Start the machine after first setting the rpm,
1000 x V
N =
π x D
d/ Offset your tool to the left (wheel 17) using a straight edge to check the distance
between the part face and the right hand side of your tool. Stop as soon as you obtain
the desired distance and add 1 mm to it to correct the face surface.
e/ Manually and regularly advance the tool using wheel 14. We recommend lubricating
(with soluble oil and water) using a brush. As soon as the tool drills through into the
bore, reverse and disengage to the right
Designation: Threads are designated by the M symbol, followed by their diameter and
pitch in mm, separated by a multiplication sign. Example: M 30 x 3.5, i.e. M 30 for a 30
diameter thread with a 3.5 mm thread pitch. Standard threads are:
nominal Diameter M

/ Outer thread: The tool profile sharpening angle for cutting a metric thread is 60°, The
tool profile sharpening angle for cutting a Whitworth thread (English pitch) is 55°,
