Re: Issue with G71 and Taper angle
hi Chispas, i don't have time now to test the original code ... please, what exactly do you wish ?
The whole point of using the A value is that you can easily enter the taper angle for the desired thread
yup, indeed, A value is pretty expressive to input the desired angle, and it remains the same, regardless of threading travel, that may change when clearances are shifted
So a 178 in "A" would be nearly 180 degrees from 3 O'Clock
trigonometry has some simetry among the quadrants, so check this code, with a simplified value for the A argument; ups, i just saw that also mr wizard sugested this at #2 / kindly
Code:
G50 S2000
G00 X500 Z250
T101
G97 S1234 M42 (M08) M03
G00 X50 Z5
G33 X40 Z-35 F0.75 G95 A-2
G00 X500 Z250 T100
M02
(
A X for thread end
178 or -2 42.793
182 or 2 37.207
checking : [ 42.793 + 37.207 ] / 2 = 40 : same as G33 X40
2.793 / 2 = 1.3965 : same as attached
