Title: Theardmilling wizard for (NPT)
Post by: marty on June 10, 2007, 07:25:00 PM

Hi guys. Would it be possible to modify one of the threading wizards to do pipe tap ? The other wizards are great,but I need the wizard for NPT.
Thanks in advance. I know you guys are real busy. Any help would be appreciated.

In theory, it ought to be possible. But I am currently on an extended vacation- driving across country, and wont be home until after July15 or so. I am checking out minor bugs on my laptop as I travel,  but attempting to do a taper thread cycle without a way to test it would likely not work well.

I will see what I can do when Im home.

I'd second that request for an NPT threading wizard, having just got done maching 30 of them by hand.

Nevermind the question I had asked..been answered..so now I will just throw in my vote for an npt wizard :) except (and don't let this delay an npt wizard) it would be even better if we could start a threading milling wizard with a menu choice with all the goodies like npt, flare, jic, ght, etc.  (granted I haven't used the regular thread wizard yet so I have no idea what I'm talking about--I just know I am likely to want to mill both an and ght threads.)
