Hi,

Programming on a Fanuc OT control using 2 line format. I'm programming an OD pipe thread (3" pipe-8 tpi) can't seem to get it working correctly. Is g92 or G32 a better way to go?

Thanks,

Jim

G76 should work just fine.

Should look something like:

G00 G97 X3.75 Z0.375 S115 M03
G76 P021060 Q20 R0.002
G76 X3.3219 Z-1.2 R-0.0492 P938 Q141 F0.125

What is it doing wrong?

dcoupar,

Thanks for the quick reply, your program helps alot. I wasn't getting the thread cut deep enough but now have it working ok.

Thanks again,

Jim
