Newbie- T32 threading

[vectorsc]

I'm looking at the T32 manual and am having a hard time figuring out how to make a thread. I'm trying to make a 1/2x28TPI UNEF thread with the appropriate laydown tool.

I show a lead of .0357in, major diameter 0.500, minor diameter 0.4562.

I just don't know what to put in the parameters it's asking for. I already have a .500 boss cut with a relief cut at the far end for the thread ending.

if mazatrol, if you answer the prompts in the dialog box in the lower right, you should always get a decent thread off the bat. main thing is number of starts is always 1 and your have 3 plus 3 styles of infeed.

you can blow up your tool path check and overlay the three different patterns to illustrate the difference.

if that helps....
