One of the machining methods able to ensure a high material removal rate in the case of obtaining threaded surfaces is the whirling machining. In order to obtain a high accuracy of the machined surface and low values of the surface irregularities, an adequate selection of the machining parameters is necessary. A geometrical analysis of generating the surfaces in case of applying the whirl threading was developed. Geometrical and kinematical conditions were considered and software was used in order to modelling the process and to highlight the influence exerted by some process input factors on the machining errors and height of the surface irregularities.
