Machining Diameter • What is the machining diameter?
For internal thread milling, in most cases the initial endmill diameter is recommended to be
up to 70% of the thread's major diameter. THREAD MILLING
The requested thread with a major diameter of 20 mm, means that the maximum
recommended diameter can be 14 mm (20*0.7=14).

Application
• What type of coolant is available
Coolant
(external / internal coolant)?
Tool Adaptor • What tool adaptor is available?
For an internal through hole, it is recommended to use solid cutters with internal coolant
holes directed to the cutting edges along the flutes, or tools with internal coolant channels
directed to the cutting area for indexable inserts.
