Does anyone have any proving code for helical milling on a L32? I am going to mill a thread using a single point thread mill & want to get started on the right foot.
I recently tried helical milling on a L720 and couldn't seem to get it to work.
Thanks

arcing in and arcing out aside, it's pretty straight forward.

G1 W.125F???
G2K-.125U-.062F(U IS YOUR THREAD PITCH IN DIAMETER)
G2K-.125U-.062
G2K-.125U-.062
G2K-.125U-.062
G1W-.125
G0X???

HTH
Good luck.
