Popis: Worms can be produced using special machines or standard lathes equipped with a whirling thread-cutting device. A blank is placed on the mandrel and tightened using the three-jawed chuck of the standard lathe. If the workpiece diameter is excessively large, passage through the driven pulley is not possible, and the workpiece cannot be supported. Therefore, a new tool holder for whirling devices is needed. During the whirling process, vibrations in the form of machine velocity amplitudes were measured. After whirling was complete, roughness values were calculated. Using numerical procedures of Wolfram Mathematica 10, vibration peaks were extracted, from which frequencies and maximum amplitudes were determined. The data were then inputted into Design Expert, and the rotational speed and amount of separated material were optimized. The results of the study showed that the quality of the processed surface did not improve with processing in two passes of the tool. The measured vibration amplitudes on the lathe carrier and thread whirling attachment increased with cutting speed at the same cutting depth, whereas the quality of the machined surface was best at the smallest and largest cutting depths.
