coil/thread design reversed
Posted: Sat 23 May , 2020 1:47 am
G'day all,
I'm trying to make a small part with a coarse thread to be used as a wooden insert of sorts, my problem is that even though the model has a standard thread and the toolpath shows it making a standard thread (quickcam4D) when machined (2600 pro) the result is a reverse thread.
If anyone has an idea why this is happening I would love to know.
Furthermore the opposite is also correct when creating a toolpath for a reverse thread I end up with a standard thread. ???
