What matters for your job
P marks pitch and Ø the profile. Take the standard and tolerance from the part drawing, not this schematic.
Thread turning is shown: axial feed is coordinated with workpiece rotation. Other methods need separate assessment.
Internal threading is not illustrated here. Check its entry diameter and longitudinal access separately.

ExploreBefore choosing a configuration
Can I order using only the family name?
Accurate selection requires a compatible insert and holder, geometry, material and cutting conditions.
Why are there no universal cutting parameters?
Speed and feed depend on the specific tool grade, material, clamping and cooling. Check them against the catalogue for the selected version.
What helps when replacing the current tool?
Its designation, actual cutting parameters, tool life, wear photos and a drawing of the machined feature.
