thread mill only generates half the cut on od threading
« on: November 10, 2011, 09:00:35 AM »
Hello. 
I have a newfangled wizard problem with threadmilling on the outside. I have used the wizard numerous times to generate G-code for internal cuts with no problems, but when trying to generate G-code for external threads it is only cutting half the length of the thread (half moon). I've copied the code that it generated and pasted it below.
 
Hope you can help!

Can you tell me the parameters you used, or even better post a screen capture of the page. My guess is you have entered a parameter tomake the thread length less than the pitch, but Im only guessing
