Thanks Dcoupar,
I am going to print out your example with each line quadruple spaced and work through it.
I have a smaller diameter single-point carbide thread cutter since I haven't decided which insert cutter to buy yet. I would think by the time I have converted your program to work with my cutter I will have a pretty solid idea of how the theory works. I will let you now how I get on.
Stand by for cleaning up lots of ally chips !!!
Thanks again.
