taper threading
« on: May 24, 2008, 06:01:47 PM »
Hi
I tried some taper threading today
I was making a 1.5"-11.5 pipe thread (od)
I used the threading wizard (complex) to write the program
The taper angle was 1' 47" or 1.78'
The program would not run, saying something about an integer in the threading line of
code. ( T1.78)
So I put in a whole number for T ( T2) and the program ran and cut a taper thread, but at 2'
instead of 1.78'
Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong
take care

what are all of the numbers you are entering in the other DROs as it seems to work fine for me.
