Help Threading

on 2005-05-31 15:46:19 UTC
Hi All,

Was wondering if anyone could help me with doing some external threading on a piece of bar stock. I need to do this with my CNC lathe (a Sherline). So I guess the big question is what x, y, and feed values do I plug in to get a thread of 11/16th x 24 threads per inch. To make matters worse I am using a metric lathe with metric leadscrews. I can grind the tool bit to get the correct thread profile, how do I do the rest.

I am familiar with threading manually on a lathe with threading gears.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance,

Victor
