Phil,
The Chamfer at the end of the thread in G76 is specified with the "L" parameter and it is optional. So "L0" would mean no pull out and in the code below l45 would be 45 degree chamfer. The chamfer is specified in the wizard inputing a value for the chamfer. Note the Z differences in the second G32 line of  the code.
You can look at the script to see how that it is is done.

Hood thanks

Here is my G76 code X9.853 Z-12. Q02 P1.75 H0.1 I29 L29 C.100 B0. T0. J0.05

Apart from optional differences nothing major seems to be wrong ?

Looks fine, you have the chamfer at 29 degrees so it will start the retract 29 degrees before the thread is due to exit. Only other thing I see is your spring pass is defined as 02, doubt if that would cause any problems but I would just have 2.

Keep in mind, the retract or chamfer angle is in"angle of revolution".....or a "rotational angle".
Not actually a chamfer like I thought.
L90 would retract over 1/4 of a revolution, L360 would be 1 rev., 720, two revs. and so on.
Graham mentioned earlier that the only way to get a nice gradual radial retraction without gutting the groove all the way around the part is to run it sloooowwwww as the acceleration of the X axis retracting will "lag" causing the ringing.
Others mention cutting the threads to a relief groove.
I'll try to find the post.

Rich your reply no 10 sorry did not see that till after Hood's.

Thanks

Overloaded thanks to you for that reply 14/15 that was a good explanation.

One thing i have learned is that there is a lot to learn.  ;D  :P  ;D

Everyday is a learning day. It never stops and when it does, well, it's cold 6' down!  :D
