Can G33 be used for tapered threads? I remember a short while ago someone wanted to do taper threads with G76, but couldn't and G33 was suggested. The documention says > For spindle-synchronized motion in one direction, code G33 X- > Y- Z- K- where K gives the dis- tance moved in XYZ for each > revolution of the spindle.
How is this used when I want to move 15mm in Z, and 3mm in X to turn my tapered thread? For a 5mm pitch thread, K would be 5mm/rev in the Z direction and 1mm/rev in the X direction. (just some sample numbers) Thanks, Frank ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
