I am assuming that your Thread Milling on the Face of a Part.
Is this a Fanuc Control, if so which series?
Also i am assuming that you want to use a Hob End Mill, What Diameter??

Do you have a Full Y Axis instead of using the C Axis??
If so, how much travel do you have?

I know this is an old thread but have you figured it out? I just had success programming a thread mill but using Cartesian to polar coordinate transformation on my fanuc control wouldn't work.use the y axis trust me. That way you can use the radius offset in your offset page which controls the y axis to control the dia like g41 cutter comp on a mill works.i can post an example if u want.im just replying to put the info out here in case you come across this again or it helps someone else.Best of luck
