Threadmilling a tapered thread

[dblox]

Hi guys, I have just recieved a drawing which has an external BSPT thread. I tried playing around with Dolphin's threadmilling cycle, but I can't seem to get the taper function to do anything. The simulated toolpath is still very much straight. I was wondering if anybody had done this before, and if they had, could you please post an example project for me to learn from?

Thanks

Just noticed this thread - sorry for not getting back to you sooner.

You're right - there is a problem with tapered threads - I will pass it on to the tech guys.

We do have a standalone application that will generate XYZ vectors for this, it's been a few years since I looked at it, and I'm not sure exaclty what is can and can't do.

If anyone is interested please contact me andre@dolphincadcam.com

Has this feature been implemented correctly in V11?

If you need to cut tapered threads we have a standalone module that will do this.
