The thread tapping process is influenced by several interacting parameters:
-
the part being tapped and the material it is made of
-
the kind and type of tool used
-
the spindle speed
-
the thread depth
-
the drill diameter of hole
-
whether or not chips are removed
- the
lubricant
The findings revealed the following facts:
-
it is not possible
to compile a general applicable table of values or to develop
a general applicable formula for determining in advance the optimum values for
any application which may arise in practice and thus to predict tapping
characteristics and production figures.
