I thread mill on a Okuma Captain lathe. This machine doesn’t have a Y Axis so we use the main spindle for rotation while live tool plunges in Z axis. It rather unconventional but it works. I can look at program when I get to work this weekend. Pretty sure it’s not using a G19 though.

We use a G33 on an Okuma OSP control. It’s basically single pointing using a thread mill in a live tool. I’m not sure how we came up with that many years ago but it works on our Captain…wait, our machines don’t have a Y Axis, this is why we do it this way.
