Hi,
last few days i have had to turn several non-standard threads and at this work i've found 2 things, that may be could be edited - if there is a little time at the developement:
1st: tapered thread only accept integer - is it possible to change the value-range in future versions to any floating point type ?
2nd: (to Brian Barker) normally i work at metric setup. Only when threading i use sometimes imperial mode (TPI vs. pitch-distance) Is it possible to add in any of future versions a button into the wizard for switching between imperial / metric threading ? of course - its possible to switch by G20 / G21, but in the wizzard there's no hint in which mode i'm ...
maybe its possible to change without a lot of work :-)

The taper thing is reported and we will see if that cvan be fixed... it is a bit harder then you think because Mach3 is checking to see that T is an int type to tool change and so on..
The wizard is OLD and I was in hopes someone would make one that looks better :) I can add it but it will need to be in about a week or so because I am flying out for a week.
Thanks
Brian
