G33 help
Posted: Sat 16 Dec , 2017 16:34 pm
Hi, I am trying to thread externally on my little denford
G33 is the correct g code and it give me 4 parameters
X
Z -amount of thread to turn
P -pitch of thread being turned
c -number of cuts to take to reach the correct size
I have tried a few times and each time the passes start off close and get further away from the stock, as if it's trying to do an ID thread.
Any ideas how I manipulate the parameters to run smaller in x rather than bigger?
I have tried changing x to a negitive value and it didn't seem to work.
Any assistance would be very welcome
Thanks
