General Mach Discussion / Re: Problems threading on the lathe
« on: October 30, 2009, 09:50:32 PM »
Thanks for the compliments ART,
Hopefully some practical threading by many users of the version over time will hold true. The testing basicaly implies that if you can't do threads on your lathe, it's not the software part but rather your "Lathe system" along with experience using it.
While you were tweaking the program i was compiling a whole bunch of "stuff" which will be put into the members docs as a tutorial or whatever. The write up attempts to capture the big picture on threading so it covers
a lot of territory. If anything it will be a good first stop for getting a handle on threading on a CNC lathe using MACH3 Turn.
I am just glad that you put the effort into upgrading the threading. The threadings problems are very difficult to put into perspective because they are so interrelated and hard to isolate in a meaningfull way.
BTW, My profession is a process engineering designer and background includes code design of equipment, piping, and whatever. This is fun and the profession is work!
I'll look for your write -up.
