Chamfer/threading advice?

Chamfering before hand tapping threads makes a lot of sense, it really helps get the tap started easily, thread milling, not so sure.

Thanks @BartKā€¦ This will be great reference file.
Any recommendations on thread mills / sources?

Recently purchased some of these and they seem to work great.

@BartK Could you share the cutter settings that you entered for the tool in fusion 360? I bought some of the same thread mills and now that Iā€™m looking at the specifications Iā€™m a little confused by the ā€œEscape from the skyā€ dimensionā€¦

Even better, if you could share some project that is using the thread mill then I could reference the actual machining operation. Iā€™ve never used a thread mill before and getting it right looks like I need to learn some more!

Chris, did you see my previous post? I did attach a file with all the info youā€™re asking for.

@BartK nope, I totally missed the f3d.zip file up there. Doh! Thatā€™s exactly what I was hoping for. Thanks!
