Lead in on a custom thread cycle


Recommended Posts

Hey everyone, so I have a odd ball one. I have a part (no I can not show pictures) that has a ball thread in the ID of the part. I used custom thread cycle on the lathe and the form of it came out great. My issue and where it gets weird, its a double blind thread, start inside the part ends inside the part. The way is comes out (using g32 cycles) is fine, the lead in it wants to plunge to X then use g32 for the Z which is giving me a undercut basically. Is there some way to do a lead in on the g32 line instead of plunging then g32 like start position, g32x and z then just a z move? Im not seeing anything for a lead in and for geometry mastercam only want one segement of the form otherwise I though about drawing the lead in with the form. Any thoughts or help would be great. Thanks!

gcode,

I've been trying to cheat the geometry to cause a lead in but no matter how I do it it always is posting out X rapid to position then g32 Z when I need to have the g32 line to have a X and Z then a Z to depth if that is making sense. And I dont see any parameters to cause a lead in in the custom thread tool path
