Thread Infeed Methods<br />

Radial Infeed<br />

Flank Infeed (modified)<br />

Alternate Flank Infeed<br />

1-3°<br />

Radial infeed is the simplest and quickest<br />

method.<br />

The feed is perpendicular to the turning<br />

axis, and both flanks of the insert perform<br />

the cutting operation.<br />

Radial infeed is recommended in 3 cases:<br />

• when the pitch is smaller than 16 tpi<br />

• for material with short chips<br />

• for work with hardened material<br />

Flank infeed is recommended in the<br />

following cases:<br />

• when the thread pitch is greater than 16<br />

tpi., using the radial method, the effective<br />

cutting edge length is too large, resulting<br />

in chatter.<br />

• for TRAPEZ and ACME. The radial<br />

method result in three cutting edges,<br />

making chip flow very difficult.<br />

Use of the alternate flank method is<br />

recommended especially in large pitches<br />

and for materials with long cihps.<br />

This method divides the load equally on<br />

both flanks, resulting in equal wear along<br />

the cutting edges. Alternate flank infeed<br />

requires more complicated programming,<br />

and is not available on all lathes.<br />
