See the following illustration for lead assignment for cylindrical, tapered and face thread:
Tapered thread
For tapered threads (2 axis values required), the corresponding lead address I or K of the axis with the
larger travel
(longer
thread) must be used. A second lead is not defined.
Starting point offset SF=
A starting point offset is required for the spindle if a multiple-start thread or a thread in offset sections is to be machined. The
starting point offset is programmed in the thread block with G33 under the address
SF
(absolute position).
If no starting point offset SF is written, the value from the setting data "Starting angle of thread" (SD42000:
THREAD_START_ANGLE) is active.
Note
A programmed value for SF must always be entered in the setting data.
Programming example
Cylindrical thread
, double-thread, starting point offset 180 degrees, thread length (including run-in and run-out) 100 mm,
thread lead 4 mm/rev.

Multi-block thread
If multiple thread blocks are programmed consecutively (multi-block thread), it only makes sense to define a starting point
offset in the the first thread block.
Multi-block threads are connected automatically in G64 continuous path mode.
