New Multiple and Complex thread Turning Wizard!!!
« on: December 26, 2006, 11:37:37 PM »
Here is the Re-uploaded Wizard, (I Forgot to populate the files  :-[  )

I just built a Lathe Threading Wizard called "Quick Turns", you can do Multiple threads, clearances, directions, hands...etc.
I added that nice little "Free Ware" Thread calculation Wizard that was posted up here so You can have an easy access Thread form calculator chart!! It has a Help file for how to use it, please read the "Read Me 1st".

I hope you like it, tell me what you think,

Scott S.

Hi Scott,
    I just tried that and got a blank screen when I tried to pick your wizard. Also got an error on the pick wizard tab. I attached a screen shot. In the zip file, bitmaps, there where no bitmaps. I may have gotten a bad download. Just thought I would let you know.
;D If you could see the things I have in my head, you would be laughing too. ;D

You are not alone...
 I guess there are a couple bugs in the uploading process....
Both the bitmaps folder and the "quick threads" folder were empty after unzipping.

I'm sure he will get the bugs out. I don't even have a lathe but had to look at the wizard. It sounds very nice. ;D

Keep up the good work Scott.

Scott,
    Good job. I downloaded a few minutes ago and seems to be fine. I wonder if I could use this wizard as an excuse to buy a lathe? ;D

This screen shot doesn't show any labels for the numeric entries.  Although the wizard appears to work and can generate the G-Code.

I put the bit map files in MACH3/Bitmaps/TurnBitmaps.  Am I missing something?

Thanks.
