Hi There,
Noobie here. Been lurking for a while and learning lots from the forum and of course by making mistakes.
Have fabrication as a hobby in retirement.
Anyway, question is:
Is there a formula or way to determine the advancement of the cross slide required from the difference of the 3 wire measurement obtained to the target 3-wire measurement? I assume that the angles and round shape of the wires are going to enter into the determination, such that a simple 3-wire measurement subtraction is not going to equate to the required cross slide advancement
ie. thread cutting getting close and finishing off using the cross slide advancement, 3-wire measurement/M (.045 wires) say is at .522 for a 1/2-13 NC thread and target 3-wire measurement/M is .514
How can I determine the required cross slide advancement?
Much Appreciated
