Good morning,
quick question.
First of all I am not a lathe programmer.
I was wondering about verify and how accurate it is to a stock model.
The program was written by our lathe programmer.
I took my gage (part with acme thread) and made that the stock model in verify. when i run it the threads never match my stock model. it is supposed to be a 4.233 TPI (single start) I have tried moving the start position back and forth within a range of .236/4 (90 degrees) and it doesn't work.
Should it match up?
I looked at the code and the feeds and speeds are correct. I changed the start point with out a lead just to see if it was right.
Driving me insane.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
