Here is a little freebee that will calculate multiple passes for single point lathe threading. It was originally developed for manual threading. It calculates constant cross sectional area for each pass of the tool, and lists the correct X & Z start points. It is nice if you ever have to program a thread cycle manually ( like with just about any hobby class controller that can do lathe).

It does output Vector Cad PLC data and will draw the toolpath in Vector, from which you can generate G32 or G33 code, for multiple pass threading.

Lathe Quick Code is another inexpensive way to produce multiple passes with a controlled infeed angle for lathe threading.
