    Galil Threading on a Lathe

    Does anyone have a lathe threading code snippet for a Galil 18x6 controller. I'm trying to figure out the best way to use the spindle index pulse to trigger the GA. B axis is the spindle, C axis is the Z.

    My thoughts are:

    Stage X and Z to a start position
    Wait for spindle index pulse (this is where I get a bit confused on the timing)
    Set GA
    Use GD to sync up the axes
    Feed to the end of the thread
    Disengage GA mode
    Retract X
    Rapid back to Z start
    Rinse, repeat until thread is at proper depth

    Thoughts? Details?

    Al did you have any luck getting this to work? I read through some of the old threads on this subject.

    It has been quite a while, I will have to see if I can dig it up from my old records.
