M20 X 4 THREAD DIN 103

How would I tool path this using a thread mill?  I believe this has multiple starts for the thread and I've never done anything like this before.  Also, where would be a good place to purchase a threadmill for this?  Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

The threadmill toolpath would be used, located under toolpaths, circle paths. if its a multi-start you can setup one toolpath, copy the operation and change the start angle. So lets say perhaps its a 4 start thread, you would have 4 toolpaths, 1 starting at 0° the next at 90°, and incrementing 90° from there to get the other starts.

Hope this helps. also with all of thhe mastercam circle paths i personally find its easier to chain a point, not an arc, as it will open op the Dia field located under cut paramaters and allows easier manipulation of the size and doesnt lock you down to the arc size.
