G-Code, CAD, and CAM discussions / Re: Sheetcam + Mach3 for 3D

I spent some more time and it looks like Mach3 can do this on its own.  I used the thread milling wizard to create the helical interpolation.  The cut down diameter can be the minimum thread diameter and the angle can be converted to TPI. Using a standard end mill, a right had thread and left hand thread can be cut.  The cuts start at the bottom so the low points should match.  It looks good running in air.

Can you do the following with sheetcam and Mach3 mill?  I can see cutting the round OD but would need a move in Z to get that tapered lip.  Any idea?  My experience is limited.
