Creating Threadmill cut on a surface
Creating Threadmill cut on a surface
(OP)
I am using a 40 threads/inch threadmill to cut a revolved groove on a flat surface. Can anybody provide a simple way to make the cut without sketching all 40 grooves.

If the grooves are decreasing in diameter, you can use the Linear Sketch Step and Repeat function when creating the sketch.

when I pattern one groove the diameters overlap creating a "8" shape instead of concentric grooves. Looking at the cross section, it would look like 20 thread pitches running radially along the surface. Basically like what coreBlimeylimey mentioned as decreasing in diameter.
