The recommended number of passes in the above table are approximate figures. Please note: - to avoid breakages at the cutting edge, the depth of cut at the first pass should not be too deep - finishing passes (with zero depth of cut) are not considered in the table |

| In-Feed |
|
Radial In-Feed Metal removed on both sides of the insert simultaneously. The most commonly used method for thread production. |
![]() |
Modified flank in-feed Less wear of the trailing edge and better surface finish on corresponding flank. |
![]() |
Alternating flank in-feed Both edges are being fully utilized which means longer tool life. |
![]() |
Flank in-feed More easily formed chip and better heat dissipation. |
