Thread Cutting

This page is being written

The section exists so the shape of the documentation is visible and stable. The content below states what will be here; until it is, treat this page as a placeholder rather than a reference.

What this page will cover

G33, G34 and G35: how the pitch is stated, what the axes do at the start and end of the cut, cutting a thread in several passes, and what happens to the thread if the spindle or the feed is disturbed part way.

In the meantime

Until this page exists, the panel itself is the reference: the screen it describes carries its own labels and softkeys, and the control refuses what it cannot do rather than doing it quietly.
