Hi people .
I am trying to thread for the first time with a jaguar Dashin lathe fitted with Fagor 800 controller ( photo below )
When i start operation it runs then gives error 017 , ( I - K parameters )
the manual says I & k are correction factors to allow for tool wear along X and Z axis.
Photo attached of the screen shots , what am i doing wrong ? is it the tool positions in X and Z that need to be occupied first before I and K can be applied ?
tool 03 is the threading tool , tool position is correctly set to F6
You would see i am trying to machine a male thread M30 x 2.0 pitch

I have tried setting I and K to zero but problem is the same.
any suggestions please ?
