1"-8 thread in 304 stainless

[tobing418]

Hi everyone,
I'm new to the site and hope I can get some help here, I would really appreciate it. I'm a Hardinge cnc lathe operator who has just been "promoted" the foreman got laid off. Anyway, I have to cut an 1-8 thread, 7" long on a hardinge. I need help with the program and speeds and feeds etc. Any suggestions?
Thankyou

Material? I'm going to assume external thread here, too?

Material is 304 stainless, and yes it is an external thread.
Thankyou,
