    Threading information

    I have seen a few programs knocking around on here which lists all the information needed to screw cut on lathes. I cant find them again, can anyone point me in the right direction ?

    Hmm, you're not giving us much to go on, M@T.

    Are you looking for gcode parameters to suit a particular controller, or just the raw geometry of screw thread depths, and so forth?
    First you get good, then you get fast. Then grouchiness sets in.

    (Note: The opinions expressed in this post are my own and are not necessarily those of CNCzone and its management)

    I downloaded a program from here some time ago. It was a small program where you could select the type of thread you wanted (BSPT, NPT, ISO), the size you wanted and it gave you all the necessary information like thread depth and pitch. I lost it after a PC crash though.
