Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: mill threading

Tony and the list;
sorry for a moment I forgot that not every body has the equipment that is available

when I do thread milling at work it is only a matter of a couple of lines of g code

G1X600.A3600.(MILL 600mm in x axis with 10 turns of rotary table)
regards
mariano
