Comprehensive Threading Calculators

Efficient and accurate threading is essential in machining, whether you’re performing internal or external threading. Here, you'll find a complete set of threading calculators designed for machinists and engineers, covering threading RPM, pitch, feed rate, milling, cutting speed, and thread rolling diameter calculations. Use these tools to streamline setup and achieve precise, high-quality threads on any material. Each calculator includes formulas for clarity and to ensure accuracy in different threading operations.

1. Threading RPM Calculator

Calculate the ideal RPM for threading operations based on surface speed and thread diameter. Proper RPM selection helps maintain thread quality and prevent tool wear.

Formula: RPM = (1000 × Surface Speed) / (π × Diameter)

Surface Speed (m/min):
Thread Diameter (mm):
Calculate RPM

 

 

 

2. Threading Calculator (Pitch)

Determine thread pitch based on threads per inch (TPI) for precise threading requirements. Pitch is crucial in setting accurate lead distances and thread profile specifications.

Formula: Pitch = 25.4 / TPI

Threads per Inch (TPI):
Calculate Pitch

 

 

 

3. Thread Milling Calculator

This calculator helps you find the correct feed rate for thread milling operations, factoring in spindle RPM, feed per tooth, and the number of flutes.

Formula: Feed Rate = RPM × Feed per Tooth × Number of Flutes

Spindle RPM:
Feed per Tooth (mm):
Number of Flutes:
Calculate Feed Rate

 

 

 

4. Threading Speed and Feed Calculator

Calculate both RPM and feed rate in threading operations based on surface speed, diameter, and TPI. Proper speed and feed rates are critical for achieving optimal thread integrity.

Formulas:
RPM = (1000 × Surface Speed) / (π × Diameter)
Feed Rate = RPM / TPI

Surface Speed (m/min):
Diameter (mm):
Threads per Inch (TPI):
Calculate Speed and Feed

 

 

 

5. Thread Cutting Calculator

For both internal and external thread cutting, this tool calculates the necessary RPM based on cutting speed and diameter to ensure smooth thread cutting.

Formula: RPM = (1000 × Cutting Speed) / (π × Diameter)

Diameter (mm):
Cutting Speed (m/min):
Calculate

 

 

 

6. Thread Rolling Diameter Calculator

Calculate the pitch diameter for thread rolling based on major diameter and TPI. This helps ensure consistent thread quality in rolled threads, which are commonly used in high-volume production.

Formulas:
Pitch Diameter = Major Diameter - (0.64952 × Pitch)
Pitch = 25.4 / TPI

Major Diameter (mm):
Threads per Inch (TPI):
Calculate Pitch Diameter
