• SPINDLE RPM—contains the default spindle speed programmed in Tool
Setup. This value can be accepted or changed.
• Use Safe Rapid Point checkbox—when selected, activates the X Rapid and Z
Rapid fields for entering the location for the X and Z axes to move at rapid
feedrate at the start and end of the cycle.
• X RAPID—identifies the X axis rapid feedrate location for the start and end of
this cycle. This field is only available for editing when the Use Safe Rapid Point
checkbox is selected.

• STRATEGY—identifies the manner in which the total thread depth is divided
among passes.
• DECREASING DEPTH—select so the depth of cut will decrease upon
each rough pass. This method controls the amount of depth of cut for
each pass using the entries in the Rough Start Depth and Rough Finish
Depth fields.
• CONSTANT VOLUME—select so the depth of cut will be the same for all
rough passes. This strategy uses Constant Volume Removal and maintains
a constant load on the cutting tool. The system calculates the amount of
material removed by each pass and sets the depth for material removal
equal to the amount entered in the Rough Start Depth field. The Rough
Final Depth field is inactive when Constant Chipload is selected.
• ROUGH START DEPTH—identifies the depth for the rough start pass.
• ROUGH FINAL DEPTH—identifies the depth for the final rough pass. This
field is not active with Constant Chipload selected for the Strategy.
• FINISH PASSES—identifies the number of finish passes the tool will make.
• DEPTH OF CUT—identifies the amount of material the tool will remove for
each finish pass.
• SPRING PASSES—identifies the number of repetitions the finish tool will
make at the final finish depth, in addition to the finish passes.
• NUMBER OF PASSES—identifies the number of threading passes. This read-
only field is calculated by the control.
