Re: cnc lathe - threading - alternitivemethod?????

Hi Bob,
What are the threads you want to cut? Take a close look at the
toolmanufacturers recommendations as regards cutting, size and
material. Look at the hp needed to do what you want to do and
probably you will manage with simple means. Easily done with PC and
common sw.
