multi lead threading

[joliver]

Is there an easy way to do multi lead threads on lathe 9?

[Rick Damiani]

Yes.

You probably wanted a better answer than that, huh.

 

It's in the thread toopath parameters. IIRC, somewhere around the upper right hand corner of the dialog box. I'd check for the exact locaiton, but I left my hasp at work and some bozo seems to have shut down my nethasp server. It's in there though. Have another look and you'll find it.

Rick had it just about right. Pretty good from memory.

Look on the thread cut parameters page. You can put in the number of starts in the box in the upper right hand corner. You can not use this if the nc format(upper left corner) is set to "canned".

 

Good luck,
