Hello I am having an issue with thread retract on while cutting small threads.
Lathe: Mazak Quickturn Nexus 200.
I am threading a 4-40 thread. Yes I know I should probably tap it, but as of right now I can't. It is what it is. The thread tool snaps on the first pass while retracting. I am not bottoming out and I am only cutting .001 at a time. On my Moriseiki SL-203 I can cut this thread all day long. Right now that machine is unavailable right now. Is there a parameter that controls thread retract?
Code:
N061(4-40 UNJC-3B )
G0G28U0W0
T0606
G97M3S500
X.085Z.1M8
G1G99Z.05F.025
G76P030000Q.001R0
G76X.109Z-.100P.0105F.025
G0Z.1M9
