Mach3 -> Camtronics -> Parallel P Replacement

For some reason I thought that you were using a parallel port.

It isn't actually possible to interfere with the index pulse with a Mesa card config.

(Well, it is just about possible, by taking the signal in to HAL and then out again back to the mesa board)

Sorry for leading you astray.

Well, _that's_ not expected behaviour.

Can we see your HAL and INI to try to get to the bottom of that?

Nice.

Now is about the time you are likely to find that threads (to a standard) are harder than they appear. ISO metric and SAE threads have a significant flat on the threads, taking them p/6 smaller than nominal. Whitworth and ISO pipe threads have a rounding that does the same, but is harder to machine.
If you are trying to fit to an existing part, don't keep reducing the diameter of a pointed thread until it fits. If you do then the root and thread thickness will be under. Draw your thread and touch-off the tool to get the major and minor diameters right with the actual tool.
