Parameter
Description
Thread
Direction of rotation of the thread
● Right-hand thread
● Left-hand thread
(only in mode "without compensating chuck")
Selection
Selection of table value: e.g.
● M3; M10; etc. (ISO metric)
● W3/4; etc. (Whitworth BSW)
● G3/4; etc. (Whitworth BSP)
● 1" - 8 UNC; etc. (UNC)
P
Pitch ...
● In MODULUS: MODULUS = Pitch/π
● In turns per inch: Used with pipe threads, for example.
When entered per inch, enter the integer number in front of the decimal point in the
first parameter field and the figures after the decimal point as a fraction in the second
and third field.
● In mm/rev
● In inch/rev
The pitch is determined by the tool being used.

S
Spindle speed - (only for tapping without compensating chuck).
Machining (not
for "with compen‐
sating chuck")
The following machining operations can be selected:
● One cut
The thread is drilled in one cut without interruption.
● Chip breaking
The drill is retracted by the retraction amount V2 for chip breaking.
● Swarf removal
The drill is retracted from the workpiece for swarf removal.
D
1st drilling depth (abs) or 1st drilling depth referred to Z0 (inc)
mm
SR
Spindle speed for retraction - (only for "without compensating chuck").
rpm
