I have a calculation syntax error. All I wanted to do was run two threads with a .020" bigger diameter between them.

this is my program but when I go to the .248 major diameter then to the .270 then back to the .248 it gives me calculation syntax error

what could be casuing this?

please help

What control type and machine are you using?

[CAMCRASH]

Am I missing something here or is there only one chase line

"All I wanted to do was run two threads with a .020" bigger diameter between them." ????????????????????

are you trying to run a double lead thread with different pitch diameters?
if not what are you trying to attempt?

I am guessing that you are altering the program between threads?
Have altered both the N90 line to reflect below?
N90G00X.270Z.20
and the N100 line to reflect the below?
N100G78X.205Z-.700P0325Q0120F.035
If you are altering the thread cycle between threads make sure these two lines are correct if they have wrong numbers this may caues problems?

I didn't write the other chase line yet. I was going to turn the major diameter to get it ready for the 2nd thread. I want the same thread (1/4-28) on the back as I have on the front. but it won't let me make hte major diameter

got it fixed it. I just took the command out of the cycle. It worked find. I tricked the computer thinking it was going to change tools then wnet int from there. worked great

then after that. I ran the spindle backwards to come in from behind to do the right hand threads cause if I ran it forward it would be left hand threads

thanks guys though
