Hi all,
I am producing a 6mm pitch thread on a TL2 and was wondering if there is anyway of avoiding having to go throught the whole canned cyle again and again to achieve my required Pitch Diameter. On a manual lathe I would obviously just measure across the thread and then take however many other passes I needed to, to achieve my required dimension.
The only way I can see to do it on the TL2 is to tweak my X offset and then run the whole canned cycle again. Pretty long winded on a thread with that course a pitch and only taking 0.05 DOC.
Is there any way I can just take a few finishing passes to take my thread down to size as you would on a manual?
Thanks in advance for any guidance.
