Thanks for the link, Robert.

Paul, If this quote: 1/4 bspt tap is for a "British standard pipe thread NON_PRESSURE" I don't see any taper call out for it in the machinist handbook. If it is for "British standard pipe thread PRESSURE-TIGHT JOINTS" there is a taper on the external part and either straight or taper on the internal part. I can't actually find how much the taper is though. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Back at you Shawn. We are lucky to have friends that will help when we get in a bind.

It'll work. Morning all.

Can you do a contour, ramp, turn off cutter comp and have no lead in or out and a bit of overlap?

quote: It sounds like I have some work to do. Thanks for the input guys. A truer statement I haven't heard in a long time.

Just a guess but how about leaving out the M3 spindle on call out? Also, use feed per minute (G98) not inches per revolution (G99).

Thanks Brian I'll get a bottle of whiskey and check them out.

Thanks, Ron. Is there anyone with Art willing to share?

quote: I am getting two Z values for my threading cycle I am not quite sure what you are refering to . Are you getting a different "Z" value output on your approach? quote: On re-thread I can specify .5 in the "Acceleration clearance" block Can you not put the same value in on the initial threading pass? Also do you have anything set in the reference point? That might cause you problems. quote: Z.4991 Is this what you're problem is?

Does anyone have any vector drawings of celtic knows and or designs they wouldn't mind sharing? I have a couple of things I would like to engrave. Thanks.

Use a G1 prep call instead of a drill cycle. G0 Z.1 (approach) Z.015 G1 Z-.06 F.001 Z-.325 F.003 G0 Z.1 Then clear out of the way. I must say that .003 per revolution seems quite fast in my opinion for a .043 dia drill. Phil

Ron, Will this be turned into three jaws or or will this be a fixture and mounted in the chuck? We have done similar setups where I mount the jaws on the lathe and mill out the needed shape using the "C" axis on the lathe. It definitely allows easier and more accurate boring of an offset hole.

I get in but get this quote: 220-Microsoft FTP Service when I click on a folder. Phil

quote: Unfortunately, the twin spindle thing isn't exactly rock solid at the moment Now there's an understatement if I ever heard one. I've been waiting for years for substantial improvements in this area and just get by with work a rounds.

Jay, I still get to "Index of ftp" and no more. Any ideas? Thanks

The trouble he was having was the bore bar needed to come all the way down to X0.0 and did not have clearance to go there.
