This is a thread mill macro I wrote a while back. It has one little problem with the exit helix, it does not move in the Z-axis the correct amount.
I think it should be changed as follows: Incorrect "ZE=#ZDPTH+(#PTCH*#TURNS)+(#PTCH/2)," Correct "ZE=#ZDPTH+(#PTCH*#TURNS)+(#PTCH/2)+(#PTCH/2)," I fixed this macro at work, but don't have the fixed version here at home. I have attached the problem macro today. I will get the fixed one on Monday. Note I use this macro in conjunction with a modified "quickstep.pcb" file that I made. I will attach that also.
