    Threading Metric Threads on Mazak T32

    What is the proper way to program a metric thread on Maza T32 machine?
    Do you just type in the number of threads or is there a formula you have to use?

    lets say you have an M8x1.5 thread. Take the 1.5 and divide by 25.4 which equals 0.05906. This is your lead. Mazatrol will figure out thread height and I would start the thread in "X" axis at or a bit above your turned diameter.

    that is what i thought because that is how to figure english (non metric) threads but the book examples show to just input number of threads (like 1.5) but it didnt look right but i was also told i had to change parameters as well just go to show you everybody has the answers just some arent right thanks fo the help

    I do it the same way as TDS, just convert the lead to inch and let it rip.
