GitHUb for me is complicated (as in I have never looked at how to use it).
I like having a source with download.

John,
I wonder why neither you nor Oleg, both creators of widely used and open-source ELS systems, don't use GitHub (or similar) service to publish source code.
I feel that publishing code on

Mine also has the equivalent of a feed hold. Press the stop button and it finishes what it was doing. So if it's threading it stops at the end of the thread pass. If it's retracting it stops at the

My system is based on Oleg's with a number of changes. I certainly would

Ah. So you do exactly the same thing mine does for following the flank. The only difference is mine doesn't do the extra move in the Z threading direction before it waits for the index and does the

Hello, All,
Like John Lindo, I have also used Richard's system to cut both plunge and 29.5¡ã "compound simulation" threads, and can confirm that both work well.
Unlike John, I have only had my

My X infeed per pass is based on a constant area calculation where
obviously the depth of the very first pass dictates the area of the
first cut and therefore subsequent cuts.

Re: No compound

Well if you are following the hypotenuse of the 28.5 degree triangle then for each pass X is a bit deeper and Z is closer to the headstock if the thread is cut towards the headstock. Simple trig.

Wow John you have got me worried now! I did not think that it was

John, John, Jack or Jill I am so glad to get the responses.
I am one step closer to actually using some form of motorized Z with the Z
motor mount.
Hopefully X will follow.
