Re: [Emc-users] Thread Milling

If one was to use a thread mill in a manner consistent with milling, the resulting surface would look much like a gear rack...having maybe 8 peaks or so...the reason for a thread mill to have so many teeth(typically a function of engineering data for a "so many turns to equal a solid connection
