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



Feed direction internal threading



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.
