Is there nobody out there that has ever done a rope thread ????

Never done this but I would think it would be like any other thread you would us a G76 or G92 for programming and some sort of round insert to match the radius of your rope and at .85 for pitch I would,ent think you could run the spindle to fast because your Z axis will have a hard time keeping up.
