M42x3 Thread Cutting Program for Okuma LB9

CNC Programming Analysis


January 9, 2025

1 Program Overview
This program creates 4 threaded steel pieces (M42x3) using an Okuma LB9 lathe. The operation
includes rough cutting, fine cutting, and thread cutting operations.

2 Initial Calculations
2.1 Cutting Speed to RPM Conversion
For a diameter of 45mm:

• Rough cutting: 200 m/min = 200×1000


×45 = 1415 RPM

• Fine cutting: 300 m/min = 300×1000


×45 = 2122 RPM

• Thread cutting: 75 m/min = 75×1000


×45 = 530 RPM

4 Detailed Command Explanations


4.1 Program Setup
• O1000: Program number
• G21: Metric mode
• G40: Cutter compensation off

• G99: Feed per revolution


• G50 S4500: Maximum spindle speed limit

2
4.2 Rough Cutting Cycle
The G71 cycle removes material in multiple passes:
• U3.5: Maximum cutting depth per pass

• R1.0: Retract amount


• F0.3: Feed rate limited to 0.3mm/rev as specified
• Stock removal is controlled to keep cut area below 0.9mm²

4.3 Fine Cutting Cycle


G70 finishing cycle follows the same path as rough cutting but with:
• Higher surface speed (300 m/min)
• Cutter compensation active (G41)

• Smaller nose radius (0.4mm) for better finish

4.4 Threading Cycle


G76 threading cycle parameters:
• P011560: Thread data (60° angle)
• Q100: Minimum cut depth
• R050: Finish allowance

• X41.35: Minor diameter for M42 thread


• Z-30: Thread length
• F3.0: 3mm pitch as specified for M42x3

5 Safety Considerations
• Safe positions programmed before tool changes
• Proper coolant control

• Conservative cutting parameters


• Appropriate feed rates for material

6 Production Notes
To produce all 4 pieces:
• Run program for each piece
• Check first article dimensions
• Monitor tool wear

• Verify thread pitch and dimensions
