Uncommon metric thread cutting on an inch machine (M48x0.75) - Thread cutting wizard
I have never used Mach 3 to cut threads before, but I have an unusual project that requires the threads to be cut to the above spec.
In looking at the thread cutting wizard,
X Center Pos: 0.0
Y center Pos 0.0
Major/Minor Dia: 48mm is 1.88976
Depth: 0.3 (to make it through a 0.25" aluminum sheet
Pitch for mm, TPI for inch: 0.75mm is 0.02952756
Feedrate 2 ipm
Rapid Height
Tool Diameter - any recommended carbide cutters? Found one on amazon thats 0.375 diameter
When I post this code, I see just a semi-circle cut without any type of helical pattern.
other MISC settings:
INCH
Climb
Inside
Right Hand
300 RPM
CW (M3)
Coolant
