Hi all, Soon I'll need to cut some trapezoidal threadforms on my lathe. Up to now I've only ever (manually) single-point threaded with full-form tools. Doing the same is possible for trapezoidal threads, but prone to chatter on smaller threads, especially internal. Is there any way to true single-point thread trap threadforms? I mean grind a 30deg tool with no flat nose. The procedure would be:1) advance along thread flank to full depth (as normal)2) traverse along Z at full depth to produce the flat thread bottom3) withdraw Is it possible to do this with G33?As you can probably tell I'm new to CNC lathes.
