Threading

Threading routine now fortified with ACME threads!!

I had an ACME threading project, and realized my threading routine would require a bit of revision to cut them. The parameters for ACME are a bit different than regular threading.  I made some modifications, and this new version will now cut ACME threads.

I did not modify the metric version of this code. Metric threads are Trapezoidal, which are similar but not the same as ACME. It would require a bit of tweaking of the ACME code, and I don't currently plan any work on this.

I hadn't looked at these posts in a while, and saw that robertspark made some revisions to my original code. I have not looked at those, so this new version does not include them. I'll try to take a look at them in the future to blend them in.

Finally got a chance to revise the code. This version adds tool number, spindle speed, and coolant to the previous version with Acme threading..

Enjoy.

Nice work/contrib. Useful.

If you decide to take it a level up one of those day, shout out and I'll put up the metric Tol & Grades EQs pub domain for internal and external threads. Not utterly complex to do imperial too, if required.

e.g.:

Latest Version of program. I found that the entry and exit taper part of the code didn't work. I revised and tested it, so now it's working.
