Re: Question on back threading w/Omniturn

I'm trying to cut a thread on my Omniturn, threading on the back side
with the Omni T/T tool holder. Set X offset as a negative number as manual indicates. If I enter diameters in G33 as a negative or positive, the tool is way out in space. If X is negative, it completes the threading cycle, out in space, and carries on. If I enter dia as positive, it just loops continuously. Well, I don't think it takes 40+ passes to cut a M10x1.5 thread...

Can anyone with an Omniturn help me out a bit on exactly how to get this done? My manual gives no examples of back side threading...

Thanks,

What, no answers yet? Surely someone here must know something about the Omniturn.
