I have just been thrown into the Citizen world after using Star machines for a while. I have never had to whirl a multiple angled thread on the Star and now I have to do just that on our new to us Citizen L520. The whirling head rotates about Y0 to set the helix angle, so if you whirl a taper it has to move in Y and Z doesn't it? Can you call a G32 thread cycle and have it move YZ?
The coordinates that I have to whirl along are:
(start of thread) X-.0088Z-.05
(1st end point)X.0312Z.063
(2nd end point)X.059Z.197
(final end point) X.059Z.283
Did I mention that these are TINY?
