3 Various Thread Mill Enhancements have been added in Mastercam 2025. A few of the top highlights are: Thread Mill Enhancements Performance | Mill, Router
Speed/Feed Override for Lead In/Out This feature provides better control during entry moves, which promotes better tool life and more accurate machining of threads.
Tool Edge Feed Rate
Gradual Lead In/Out
Use the new Tool Edge Feed Rate check box to calculate the feed rate based on the tool’s tangential edge rather than on the centerline. When you activate Multi Passes with Tool Edge Feed Rate, Mastercam adjusts the feed rate for the different diameters needed for multiple passes. This option also considers multiple diameters where you select holes with a range of diameters as input geometries and allows users to produce a more accurate feed rate based on the cutter diameter and the diameter of the hole being machined.
This new lead in/out strategy provides the user with more control over the tool during engagement and disengagement for a Thread Mill operation. This strategy allows the user to engage the radial depth of a Thread Mill operation through a helical motion, which gradually engages the tool throughout a 180° arc sweep. Throughout the arc sweep motion, the tool will engage 1/2 pitch deep before achieving full radial and axial thread depths.
