Lathe - internal threading tool retraction

[Rob Carnell]

I am trying to cut a thread in a small hole in a timber shaft.

The thread mill only has a small amount of clearance in the bored hole.

When I produce an Intercon program, the cutter retracts too far and ruins the thread.

If there a way to limit the x axis retraction amount?

I have searched the forum and manuals and found no information on this.

Any help would be much appreciated!

You can set up the clearance amount in the intercon setup.
