OK, so I have a difficult time figuring this out (mental block of some sort). I have a job that requires a metric 3.5 x .5 DOUBLE LEAD TAP to be used, for some holes in 1/2" aluminum plates with the threads being only 1/4" deep (heli-coiling), but i can't for the life of me figure out how to get MC to spit out code that works without stripping out threads or pulling out the part from the vise! Has anyone power tapped double lead threads and how did you set up the process on MC, as a (per my tool example) .5 pitch or 1.0 pitch? Any ideas or even how to hand write the code would be great help!
Thanks and have a great day.

Gentlemen,
I thank you for all your advise and suggestions. I will test out the suggestions again in two weeks time and will give you the results.
Have a great week! And the guys on the East Coast, stay dry!
