For an idea, I just modelled a 100mm x 30mm pitch custom buttress thread and programmed it using a 4mm grooving tool with a 0.2mm corner radius, .1mm stepover.If you had a program that would do it, that would be great. The way I showed, the only thing that takes time is finding the start points. My old bobcad program spits the code out in seconds.
The result was 280 passes - that's a lot of time to do manually, not to mention the mistake potential.
