Mastering Taper Threading in CNC: A Practical G32 Programming Guide
G32 is used for thread cutting, but with G32 we can just make a single threading cut. This all mean that you yourself have to do all the work of threading tool positioning.
For brief introduction of G32, G33 read CNC Fanuc G33 G32 Threading G Code.
Thread Cutting Possibilities with G32
- Longitudinal thread.
- Transverse thread.
- Tapered thread.
- Single and Multiple Start threads with a constant pitch.
- Variable pitch and taper angles by Chaining thread cutting blocks.
For taper threading with G32 first take the tool to the start position.
Then make the thread cut with G32 and give the values of destination point in X, Z axis along with thread pitch F.
The Z value in the G32 thread cutting has the same meaning as the Z value in the G76 cycle or the G92 threading cycle. It represents the end position.
There are multiple possibilities of taper threading on cnc lathe machines.
Taperd threading with G76 threading cycle.
Taper Threading with G92 Threading Cycle.

Here are just two passes of taper threading in this cnc programming example, but you can repeat the thread passes as much you require.
