Abstract
A lathe numerical control system for cutting a tapered thread by a cutting tool that is moved along a rotating workpiece in steps on both a lead axis and a radius axis. Synchronism of movement along both axes with the workpiece rotation is achieved by an encoder producing a set number of pulses per revolution of the workpiece and these pulses are directed simultaneously to a lead axis path and a radius axis path with each path effectively dividing its encoder pulses to produce the steps needed for the tool movement to produce a thread for each revolution.
