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.

Hi Ralph,
Much of the explanations are probably in the E-Leadscrew archives which unfortunately are pretty large.

I posted directly to the AtomicELS group with a description of how my ELS tracks the flank of the cut thread regardless of the use of the compound or not. This approach is _not_ possible

Thanks for the funny story!
Another hilarious bit: A nominal 2"x4" board starts out 1.56 in. x 3.58 in. Then, the edges are surfaced (planed), reducing the actual size to 1-1/2 in. x 3-1/2
