I should have pointed you to my G-code generating program which
makes the G-code for any thread milling operation depending on
the parameters you specify. It also shows an example :

Thread milling is the last program in the set. This particular
example makes 7 revolutions because the tool was a single-row
thread mill. If you have a multi-row thread mill, you don't need so
many revolutions, so set the depth to one thread pitch.
