This is the first Vectric video I have watched that shows a real machine cutting, and an actual machined object. I would encourage that more as it makes it a little less virtual than when it is always just the simulation that we are looking at and helps to orient to the real workpiece a little better.
My gosh man. You took some simple and made it confusing as hell. The only reason I was able to figure it out, after the fact, is because I’m a machinist. First of all how about using standard thread terminology i.e minor and major diameters? You especially went over-the-top on making the external thread cuts confusing as possible. How about you define the ops in order instead of backwards and then reordering them?
Thanks for your comment. I'm sure you know there are many ways to do this sort of thing, and we try to be as flexable as we can for many applications. We will take your comments on board for the future.
Hey Kelvin, This is the single thread tool we used: www.mscdirect.com/product/details/03196052 and I'm pretty certain this is also where we got our multi thread tool from! I hope this helps! Thank you!
Thank you! In the tooldatabase you will see a "+" icon at the bottom, this will allow you to add a new tool. From there select the "thread mill" or "multi thread" tool from the drop down depending on what tool you are using, this will then show the geometry settings you need to apply for that tool at which point you will need to refer to the tool manufacturers settings to enter that information. Hope this helps! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email our support team on support@vectric.com and they can guide you with your specific tool. Have a great day!
i realy like ur video, but is there a way to make more then 1 pass? i mean, start with a diameter, and make more passes till i hit the diameter i need? thats to prevent break the tool with ruges passes, im having problems in hard materials, i could make another toolpath of course but there are a lot of holes
does Aspire require a specific single form cutter for a range of thread pitches? or does it, say for a smaller cutter, will it adapt the tool path for the passes required to make the desired thread width. like you would do for a vcarve or using a 1/4" em to cut a 5/16" hole? I know this video was posted a year ago, so well see if you even know I asked this... thanks
Hey Larry... We are always checking our comments so be assured we don't nmiss too much. When it comes to this toolpath stragity, we need to know the specifics of the tool to get the thread correct. But in theory, without testing, I suspect as long as you use the same tool for both the external and internal threads (making sure to check all the parameters are suitable for the tool) it sould be OK. I would test this out on a test part, in a material you are OK wasting, just o be sure. I personally would follow the method but recreate the tooling using the geometry of my tool in hand.
I did a quick web search (so you will need to verify) but this company might be able to help - www.sorotec.de/shop/Cutting-Tools/sorotec-tools/Thread-Mill--Thread-milling-cutter/?language=en

Seems that that tool can be used for various pitch threads because that wide cutting knifes. Can somebody tell me how or where can I find that kind of tool he is using? Thanks in advance.

Hello Acer... It really is up to you how you want to cut the treads and the tread direction. We want to give you the option to choose depending on your situation and the material you are cutting into.
Sir, i noticed if i key in all parameters for single tooth cutter. If i want to get 1 finishing pass and several rough passes, i need to figure out "pass depth" value. I manage to figure out in order for me to get multi passes, i need to select a value that creates this. Is there a formula/documents on this topic?
Hello and thanks for the question. Our rule of thumb is 1/2 the diameter of the cutting end of the tool... but that is just a place to start. It all depends on the material, tool wear and how well built your machine is. For example if I was to cut into HDU (foam) then I could get awau with a much more egressive "pass depth" but in brass... I would need to toss my rule of thumb out the window and go with 1/4 or smaller. Hope that helps.
Hey Acer... sorry to hear you are having trouble. I would suggest either posting a question in the Vectric User Forum or send off an email to Support@Vectric.com.

Hey there! Thank you for your kind comments! Glad you enjoyed it!
Best Vectric made videos on a subject I've watched so far.
Thank you Karen!
Was good to actually see the cutting as most of the tutorials explain the cutting but it’s more helpful to have the explanation while seeing the cut.
Thanks for the feedback Jason, we will bear that in mind for tutorials in the future!
Very nice tutorial. Can you do another tutorial showing how to cut external threads as a rotary job?
Hello and thanks for the suggestion... we will add it to the list to think about.... :)

Hola richd me podrás explicar cómo se hace ya que no me sirvió este tutorial gracias ,
All of my searches have failed to find any threading tools. Do you have any hints where to start looking? Any help would be appreciated.
Hey Kelvin, This is the single thread tool we used: www.mscdirect.com/product/details/03196052 and I'm pretty certain this is also where we got our multi thread tool from! I hope this helps! Thank you!
@@vectric I’m searching this tool also but can’t find it in Europe… :-/
Outstanding video! How do I add a "threading milling" tool to my Vcarve Pro, V11.5?

@@vectric Got it added! Thank you! 😀
I also would like to know how to use aspire to turn external threads as a rotary job.
OK... we will add that to the list... :)

Thanks for the comment. Yes... if you ajust your "pass depth" of the tool then it will make multipal passed.

Where can I find the tools? Bits? For thread milling
I did a quick web search (so you will need to verify) but this company might be able to help - www.sorotec.de/shop/Cutting-Tools/sorotec-tools/Thread-Mill--Thread-milling-cutter/?language=en
Hello, can you tell us where in europe can we get that threading bit as the link that you posted is not available from EU? Thank you

@@vectric Thank you very much for the answer, I really appreciate it.
What's the purpose of threading from the bottom to the top? What's the advantage?
Hello Acer... It really is up to you how you want to cut the treads and the tread direction. We want to give you the option to choose depending on your situation and the material you are cutting into.
Why can I not find The V11.0 Tutorials folder?
You should be able to find it here: C:\Users\Public\Documents\Vectric Files\Tutorial Files\Aspire V11.0 I hope this helps, have a great day!
