A basic cnc programming tutorial which shows how cnc machinists can cut threads on a Siemens Sinumerik 802D sl CNC machine.
As Sinumerik 802D sl has threading cycle CYCLE97, although cnc machinists have to deal with lot of parameters, but more parameters for a cycle mean more flexibility for an operation.
So CYCLE97 give a cnc programmer/machinist lot of flexibility while machining threads on Sinumerik cnc controls.

N10 G0 G90 Z100 X60 N20 G95 D1 T1 S1000 M4 N30 G0 X45 Z15 N40 CYCLE97( , 2, 0, -35, 42, 42, 10, 3, 1.23, 0, 30, 0, 5, 2, 3, 1) N50 G90 G0 X100 Z100 N60 M2
By using this program, you can produce a metric external thread M42x2.
Infeed is carried out with constant cutting cross-section.
5 roughing cuts are carried out at a
thread depth of 1.23 mm without finishing allowance.
At completion of this operation, 2 idle passes will be carried out.
