(pull threading). However, this also creates a higher risk of insert movement
Use modi ed ank infeed to generate a spiral chip, which is easy to guide toward the entry of the bore
Choose an adequate number of thread cutting passes and depth of cuts
Avoid vibration caused by long tool overhangs
Tool alignment and center height
If a long tool is needed for reach, use a carbide or dampened tool to minimize vibrations
