General Mach Discussion / Re: Problems threading on the lathe
« on: March 01, 2009, 10:37:59 AM »
Art,
Thanks for the reply. I am usng the SS wiith the latest plugin. I'll get some info off to Greg and see what he needs,
says, and work with him. Threading on my end has never been better, but, no joy for some others, quite obviously. There are two issues in my mind, namely:
1. Clarity on how the basic threading is "designed" to work ( program reaction to spindle slowdown ).
( Not conjecture ie; based on what i found / posted in reply #96 ) and maybe some flavor of anticipated program
limtations.
2. With one above known, the user or the advice given can better deal with the mechanical system influences
causing a threading problem in the first place. There will be varing degree's of users lathe systems and this is only
the beginning as more users start threading.
I will be bold enough to say it again, SOFTWARE solution to a mechanicaly created one is a patch only and can only do so much. In that light the punny guys got a lot to thank Art for.
