It does take longer on a lathe without a compound. You must watch the motion, make adjustments and watch again until you have the tool tip aligned with the threads. The more material you need to take off the part the less accurate your position must be to restart the cutting of the part. Stuart

Gentlemen, I have cut multistart threads and adjusted the machine to recut threads by adjusting the start point Z coordinate. I would think it would work very similar in EMC2. Stuart On Tue, Nov 3, 2009 at 2:40 PM, Andy Pugh a...@andypugh.fsnet.co.uk wrote: 2009/11/3 Chris Radek

Since I'm a bit at wit's end - if anybody wants to give it a stab: Here is a hardware-free emc2 config which shows the oscillation. It needs hal, so I guess it wont work on emc-sim, but it doesnt touch any hardware (simulated encoder, and stepgen outputs etc not connected).

I've pulled a fresh copy of master and now get the same (clean) plot like you in the test setup I sent - superb! There's a chance I created a snafu as I blunder down the git learning curve.. I'll see wether I can isolate what will cause the change from bad to good in my old setup, or it's
