ANGLE
In this mode, the angle of the lathe chuck is displayed.
This can be used to use the lathe chuck as a dividing head, but also for multiple threads. The
angle is reset to zero with P0.
Proceed as follows to produce a multiple-thread thread:
1. Set the angle to 0 in this mode.
2. Switch to thread mode and cut the rst thread.
3. Switch back to angle mode and manually rotate the chuck to the desired angle. This would
be 180° for a 2-course thread, 120° for a 3-course thread, and so on. Then set the angle to 0.
4. Return to thread mode and cut again, you will see that the new track is next to the rst one
5. Repeat for all gears. If the thread does not t completely, it can be repeated as required.
