The LinuxCNC application is able to do this with a little math. The >LinuxCNC appplication can do more. Enough said. Both my CAM systems have thread tables built in, if I want a 2inch BSP thread, I simply select that - They both create the code and cut correctly with every other controller except LinuxCNC. To use either, the thread has to be custom programmed. There is no facility to add a Cos type mathematical correction into the post processors. Instead of a two minute job, it becomes a two hour one.
