Okay, my student and I are knocking our heads on the wall. We think we have coded the line to machine a 1" -11.5 NPT thread, but the simulation on the graphics screen appears to be very steep. Any suggestions?

Well, we tried G92 instead of G76 and the simulation looked right. so we ran it using the G92, I would still like to know what we were doing wrong. I know it must be a sentax error. I used the same taper calculation for the G92
G92 X1.310 Z-1.0 I-.0547 F0.08696

X1.29

Try this.

I will have my student give it a shot Monday. @GregNull
The code you provided did not crash and showed a slight taper for the thread. We did not get to run it on a part. Your D100 was not like our syntax, our manual shows this to be depth of first thread for a Haas machine. It did not appear to change the simulation regardless of D100 or D0.011
I don’t know if you took the example below the picture and did a copy paste and added your own positions, because in the example I see an error that I didn’t expect to see in a manual or whatever you copied the picture from, but in block n30 there is an error that many do because of the position of the letter O on the keyboard, just below the number 0, done it myself to many times so I double check what i write most of the time, but it still can get pass my blurry eyes. So my advice is to check for O’s and change them to 0 where you need to.
Stephen, the slight angle is the correct angle (1-3/4 deg’s per side) the D is the amount on the 1st cut.The bigger the 1st cut the fewer passes to finish size.
Thank you
