    Thread milling on a CNC lathe

    Hi Guys

    Im setting up a Doosan 2000sy with a Fanuc 18i-TB control. The part beening machined has a cross hole which has a 9/16-18 thread in it. The problem Im having is how dose G41 work?? I need to be able to offset the threadmill in Z and Y axis bit by bit to maintain thread Dia. size. Here is the threadmill part of the program. I not sure where to place wear offset numers as needed.

    Thanks for all an any help guys

    Cutter comp turn on with G0/G1 only.
    The best way to learn is trial error.

    Can't say that I have ever tried to use radius comp for milling on a lathe. Have you tried using a value in the radius offset with the current program?
