Cincinnati Milacron 208U chucking lathe.

All I have is the very basic twelve page Getting Started booklet, Publication No. CTL-454-1
It fails to explain setting up threading in SFP.

I think there should be a more detailed manual available.

I recall seeing an old post here stating that someone had it on PDF.

If SFP works it would make my life a lot simpler.
When I tried it a few years ago it wanted to do the whole operation in a single pass and I never tried again.
No doubt I did not have something setup correctly.
I'm a bit more familiar with the Milacron 208U/Acramatic 850 now so want to try again once I have a better manual.
 
Well I suppose I would be fun to watch, floundering about trying to work up an SFP from the comic book instructions.

Finally got the machine to accept and plot my very simple program.
Even got it to load and compile.
Did not get it to run, error "cannot face part".
I'm trying to cut a simple stepped and taper profile on a shaft.

Entire displayed program only shows five lines.
So I have to wonder if it wants to run the entire profile in a single pass as it tried to do before?
Seems I need some tool, speed, and feed data I never had to think about with off-line CAD-CAM.

Too weary of it for now so will hit it again later.
Definitely need the real manual.
