Metric trapezoidal therad

[beastro]

Hi,

I have to model a metric trapezoidal thread (24mm/5mm pitch) for a 3d-printed replacement part of a table saw. It's been some time since I tackled thread modelling in Alibre. Is there now any "automatized" tool available to actually model the thread or does this still work by creating a tool and making a helicoidal cut?

Thanks
Berthold

You still need to create threads manually with a helical cut or boss.

Thanks Harold!
Probably better like that anyway as it mimicks the workflow on the lathe.
