I am programming a  45 x 2 Buttress thread on an Okuma using IGF.  What angle should I use for feeding the insert? I want to use a zigzag in feed on this thread.  I generally use  M33 and would like to do it with this project.  Do I input 45 or the 2 degrees flank or do I call it 27 degrees ?  What is left and right when looking at the threading tool?? I also have Mastercam 2020  if that is easier to explain.   

I have to program a buttress thread  45 and the trailer angle is  2 or three degrees. I am programming on an Okuma LB 15 .   What angle do I use when programming the thread in-feed.  

Hi 

Hoping you guys can help. Have recently hooked my okuma up to my pc using dnc. It works well on my fanc based lathe but the okuma is not working at all. Do you know where I can get a hold of a step by step set up of the Okuma connection to DNC?  It is using a RS232C hook up if that matters. 

Thanks 

Sorry really not a computer guy but the book says RS232C

Does anyone have or can give me a link to set up the communications step by step to my PC. Have tried many online options and none have worked.

Thanks    

I give these options a try..thanks will let know results!! 

Hi 

Recently up graded my computer from 98 to Windows 10. We needed to do this to upgrade our Mastercam.

I am having difficulties in Windows 10 seeing all my program on the server. Anyone having this issue and know of a fix??

Thanks
