Look at this code for cutting threads

permalink

I used spectracam to cut 1/2-16 threads. It works when I verified it. I loaded the cnc program into the spectra light turn program and it will verfify just fine but when I go to run the program the bit will move into the x axis but will not move on the z. So if there is someone out there to look at this file and see if some thing is not written properly.

thanks.

Jack
