topic Re: Mach3 Turn Post Help in HSM Post Processor Forum https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/hsm-post-processor-forum/mach3-turn-post-help/m-p/6097708#M28885 I found this page: http://okumacnc.blogspot.com/2011/06/how-to-make-thread-program-in-g32-fanuc.html According to it the code should look something like this: <PRE> ( OD THREAD ) N1 G28 U0.0 W0.0 ;        ( Home Position ) N2 G00 T0101 ;              ( Number One Tool Selection ) N3 G97 S500 M03;            ( Spindle Speed And Direction Selection ) N4 G00  X22.0 Z1.0 M08; ( safe position  & coolant on ) N5 G00 X18.50      ;        ( Thread cutting point X Axis ) N6 G32  Z-4.00 F1.5;      ( Thread cutting 4MM length ) N7 G00 X22.0;                ( Position Return ) N8 M09 M05 ;                  ( coolant off , spindle stop ) N9 G28 U0.0 W0.0;          ( Home Position Return ) M30;                                ( Program End ) %</PRE> But the code I am getting looks like this: <PRE> (TURNING THREAD1) N14 T0606 N15 G54 N16 G99 N17 G97 S600 M3 N18 G0 X1.15 Z0.2337 N19 G0 Z-0.0063 N20 X0.95 N21 G1 X0.7248 F0.01497 N22 G32 Z-0.2463 F0.0014 N23 X0.8408 F0.0014 N24 G0 X0.95 N25 Z-0.0063 N26 G1 X0.7016 F0.01497 N27 G32 Z-0.2463 F0.0014 N28 X0.8408 F0.0014 N29 G0 X0.95 N30 Z-0.0063 N31 G1 X0.6784 F0.01497 N32 G32 Z-0.2463 F0.0014 N33 X0.8408 F0.0014 N34 G0 X0.95 N35 Z-0.0063 N36 G1 X0.6552 F0.01497 N37 G32 Z-0.2463 F0.0014 N38 X0.8408 F0.0014 N39 G0 X0.95 N40 X1.15 N41 Z0.2337 N42 G28 U0. W0. N43 M30 </PRE> I am not sure but are these lines screwed up? <PRE> N26 G1 X0.7016 F0.01497 N27 G32 Z-0.2463 F0.0014 </PRE> I am trying to cut 28 TPI, or a pitch of 0.03571, which is what I have in the box. So shouldn't it post something more like this?: <PRE> N26 G1 X0.7016 F5.0 N27 G32 Z-0.2463 F0.03571 </PRE> I hope I am helping not making this more confusing with too much google.
