Any recommendations on what NC sequence to use to program this would be appreciated.  Helical sweep with .100" pitch that is mirrored.  We are using this as a locking feature for a gluing operation.  Is there an NC sequences in Turning similar to "trajectory" in milling?  If a groove is formed at one or both ends that is fine.

Isn't that just a set of right and left handed threads overlapping the same area? I don't use the Manufacturing module for turning, we don't have an NC lathe, but doesn't the lathe stuff let you do threads?
