Holes - Tapping
This form creates a tapped hole in the selected model.
The tapping type can be selected from different standard tables such as M, MF, BSP, UNC, etc.
Parameters
Diameter |
Diameter of the tapping feature that will be created. V1:
|
Pitch |
Distance from the crest of one thread to the next. V7 Difference between the diameter (V1) and the pre-drill diameter (V2), which means V6 x 2 in the image above. |
Drill diameter |
Drill diameter of the pre-drill that will be created. V2 |
Depth |
Depth of the tapped part of the hole. V3 |
Auto pre-drill depth |
Check this box to define an automatic value for the pre-drill depth. |
Pre-drill depth |
Depth of the pre-drill, i.e. the whole depth of the cylindrical face. V4 |
Tip depth |
Depth of the drill calculated at the end of the conic face (tip). V5 |
Through hole |
Check the box if the tapping feature to be created is a through hole. |
N. Pitch |
Number of pitch that will be performed by the tapping feature. Depending on the pitch value, modifying the N. Pitch value influences the Tip depth and Pre-drill depth. |
Countersink value |
Value of the chamfer that will be created on the edge of the selected element. |
Tip angle |
Angle value at the end of the conic face (tip). |
