when i view the tool path for the external thread it looks fine but when i run it. it makes the tool guage into the material inthe begining of the cut and then works normal from there the aproach radius seems to be off
also the internal thread moves up and then way over to the right then back it keeps putting in a line that shouldnt be there
example
cutter dia 1.78
mag/minor 2.
pitch 20.
rapid ht .7
depth 1.
inside cut
r/h
