I have a Daewoo Puma 230m c-axis lathe with a Fanuc series 21i-TB control and would like to cut an internal thread using a thread mill. Ny Mastercam X2-1 does c-axis but it doesn't have the mill package. Does anyone know how I might do this with what I have.


Thanks

If you have C-axis mill/lathe post. You can do with G121(G12.1).........

I can't find what commands I use in MastercamX2 to do this. Can you be a little more specific. We have a job that has the wrong material and our only hope is to threadmill, all our profit is going into inserts that keep breaking. We have to put a 13/16-16 thread .700" deep into the end of a bar. If any one has the Mill function on there MCX lathe software maybe they could try it for me and I could cut and paste to get this job done. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Bill
