General Mach Discussion / Re: Problems threading on the lathe
« on: November 11, 2009, 08:25:16 PM »
Hi All,
Just fooling around some and decided to try some multistart threading.
Here is a three start thread. The pitches are equal just couldn't hold the camera
correctly on the scope lens. NEVER was able to do this a year ago, couldn't even do a two start.
Used the G76 / 10 passes each thread and using Z offset method for the threading.
I did have trouble trying to use the format:
#99066=0
G76.....
#99066=120
G76.....
#99066=240
G76......
The code would just get hung up on the second G76 waiting for the triggering.
