Hi cnc zone has anyone had any experience programming a tapered thread on Capps/maps software? Iv got to program a 1" npt internal thread and it's asking for a reference length and reference diameter? Any ideas of what they are?

Re: Dmg mori NLX taper thread help anyone?
the reference length and diameter is simply any known diameter/length on the tapered thread OD.
not at the root diameter but on the OD.
I normally enter the length at the top end of the taper and the diameter at the same point.
it is used to calculate the smaller end of the thread diameter
