A taper thread milling custom macro
by Mitchell Callan of Fuller precision Inc.
I have written a macro that machines a taper thread with a single point thread
milling cutter. This will help anyone that doesn't have a true pipe thread
mill. Also, it forms a spiral motion, which is necessary for taper thread
milling even if a true taper thread mill is used. It will cut any pitch or size
of pipe threads
In main program:
G65 P9000 U0. W0. A.375 R5. E10. Z-.5 V18. F10.
