Splitting hairs, in single point threading A 1mm pitch thread, the Z feed advances 1mm per rev G33 K1 is the same move as G32 F1 or G95 G1 F1 >Personally I like it that way - I can set the F word for normal cutting, >and don't have to worry about changing it for threading and then >changing it back for the next cut. You cut at the same feed per rev as the thread pitch you've just done? You have to type (program) a different K,F or whatever, it's no more work or typing either way.
