Abstract
A method for producing a thread can include a) generating a number n≧1 of twisted grooves in a wall of the workpiece encircling a thread axis (M) or generating a wall of the workpiece which has a number n≧1 of twisted grooves and encircles a thread axis, b) respectively inserting a thread generating region of a tool into each of the twisted grooves in a twisted insertion movement, c) generating a thread in each wall sub-region, adjoining the groove(s), of the wall of the workpiece by rotating the tool about the thread axis (M) and with a simultaneous axial feed motion of the tool coaxially with respect to the thread axis with a particular axial feed speed and d) moving each thread generating region of the tool out of the associated groove in a twisted removal movement matched to the twisting of the associated twisted groove.
