Abstract
A method for producing a threaded hole in a workpiece with a thread tapping tool bit, which, at its drill bit tip, has a main cutting edge and a thread profile that trails in a thread tapping direction with at least one thread cutting tooth, wherein, in a thread tapping stroke, the main cutting edge produces a core hole, and, at the same time, the thread profile forms an internal thread at the inner wall of the core hole until a target thread depth is reached, and this is conducted with a thread tapping advance in the thread tapping direction and at a thread tapping rotational speed of the thread tapping tool bit synchronized therewith. After the thread tapping stroke, an oppositely directed reversing stroke is produced, in which the thread tapping tool bit is withdrawn out from the threaded hole in a reversing direction and, in fact, this is conducted with an opposite reversing feed.
