you could thread mill them put the rotary table horizontal and center the screw blank then give a G1 Z...A... command with a 60deg slitting saw to cut the whole thing in one pass ,you can get the saws here http://www.martindaleco.com/HTML/MetalWorkingMicaSaws/MicaUndercutting_HSSandTC.htm or get some reground if you have 55deg threads the same kind of setup would work with the stepper driven lathe head and a small motorized saw arbor on the cross slide Brian ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
