For some reason it wants to post 1.0 for the Q Which should be q.03937 in this case

 

This is for a fadal format2

 

I know I've done it this way in the past but I cant remeber what I changed.

 

 

Thanks in advance..

Convert it to english and just name it M6X 1 in your tool list.

 

Diameter .236

threads 25.4

 

and it will work great.

Just thought it might be relevant to post this link in this thread: Metric Tap Conversion

Racerx, great link, thanks

Or just overide the feedrate in your ops manager.

You can specify the feedrate that you want.

I think that's easiest.

Dose anybody have a metric tap library converted so it works not to be lazy but I wont be getting payed to covert all metric taps. Cuts into the weekends that I don't have to work! Thanks

Convert them as you need them and save them

 

 

1 here, 1 there, save you're done.
