Declared pitch-feed estimate

Thread machining time

Inputs

Declared axial travel per revolution; no thread form or starts are inferred.
Axial travel per pass including any user-decided allowance.
Constant speed used only for pitch-feed arithmetic.
Integer number of repeated equal-travel passes.
User-entered time added once per pass; sequence details are excluded.

vf = p·n · tpass = L/vf · 60 · ttotal = N(tpass + tr)

Method

Formula, when it applies, and when it does not

Calculate per-pass and repeated thread-travel time from pitch, travel, speed, pass count, and reversal overhead.

vf = p·n · tpass = L/vf · 60 · ttotal = N(tpass + tr)

When

  • Declared pitch equals axial feed per revolution
  • Constant spindle speed
  • Repeated equal travel passes
  • User-entered reversal/overhead

Don’t

  • This is declared thread-travel arithmetic only. It does not infer thread form, tool path, starts, infeed schedule, stock allowance, material, cutting conditions, tool life, machine acceleration, setup, non-cutting sequence, process suitability, or approval.
