X7 VERIFY -THREADS CORRECT?

[Machineguy]

Does X7 verify shows threads cut on a lathe correctly? I see concentric rings.

Bigger question. Can I cut a helical groove path on a 2 axis lathe with a groove tool? Feed rate would be crazy. The tool has to have a lot of lead clearance.

I'm trying a thread path with a groove tool. Its close but verify doesnt show it correctly. I know the math for drawing true threads is is HUGE.

I can make a form tool for the shape I need. Im just trying different ideas. You have to think outside the box to get this one to work.

Think of a collied hose for a airgun.I need that shape for 9" or so.

Without a form tool, I dont know if I can cut the profile with a groove tool. The start , stop points have to be on the money.

 

Any Ideas I'm not seeing?
