Using the Distance (Direct) Method

This method brings the tool directly in to the start of the thread.

You must specify the parameter Distance In/Out:

Distance In – Defines the distance from the thread geometry at which the lead move starts.

The tool then feeds into to the piece until it reaches the full cut depth (defined by Thread parameter Depth of Thread).

When the tool has completed a full thread it moves directly away from the workpiece by the value specified in Distance Out parameter.
