K=0.5mm; the transition from first stage to second stage is a smooth connection;
threads of the third stage have an equal pitch F=3.0mm, the transition from second stage
to third stage is a smooth connection.

If set as above, the thread cutting process will have no stop in Z-axis during thread
cutting, therefore the cut threads are smooth and continuous.
