Greetings all; Assumeing I have the tapered thread I want, can I continue that thread without the taper if I don't change the Z resting point while its waiting for an index pulse and motion.spindle-at-speed true.
What I would like to have is the ability to unscrew the bearing axial pre-load nut back into the tapered section because the threads are in synch. There will of course be a tapered nut cut to fit the tapered thread causing that section to collapse and grip the X screw. But I overshot the bore size, so when I make that nut, the taper will be increased from 7 degrees overall to 8 degrees to better match the 6 "petals" I'll make by EDM, so the actual taper matches better when they are collapsed onto the end of the screw. Are these two routines sufficiently similar to pull this off if the Z starting point is not moved and the K#<_tpmm> is not changed? Thanks for any guidance. This is something that cannot be seen in the backplot, at any magnification, hence the question. But we could see it if there were a way to synch the backplot update with the index pulse. That, obviously, would need faster gfx by a factor of at least 10 over what I'm getting to catch every index pulse. But its still on my wish list. ;-) Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
