You didn't say the type of steel you were threading. The drill rod
steels (silversteel)O-1 W-1, are not the easiest to cut threads on
when compared to free machining steels. I think yours looks just
fine, especially for an early effort with a new program.

I would say the thread Looks GREAT as well!! because I have used AHHA
to thread with and I couldn't get the spindle speed where it had to
be to get the best finish. If mach2 can do threads fast that would be
nice for all the people doing the small parts.
I am in hopes of setting up a toolroom lathe with Mach2 in the next 6
months for my small work.
Sorry if it sounded like I was putting down the thread because I
understand the hours of work that has been put into those threads.
And I think it is GREAT that there is going to be something that will
work well for threading that will not cost thousands.
Happy chips
