Mach3 Lathe Threading Struggles

[Ger21]

There are plenty people who've successfully threaded with Mach and a parallel port.

And there are also plenty of people that haven't.
Last time there was a lengthy discussion about it on the Yahoo group, the general consensus was that it's broken, but does work for some people.
It apparently worked better on older versions of Mach3, which of course had other issues.

I'll ask Ian what version he uses which works for him.
One common denominator in his implementations is that he's not tight and buys good quality components, I suspect it makes a difference.
