Initial Comment: would be very nice to see a peck tapping cycle added into EMC for deep holes or that hard to tap metal. just adding a Q into the G33 cycle. so command could look like G33 Z-5.0 Q1.0 Kxx.xx (tap 5mm deep, with 1mm peck depth at XX feed, repeat untill we reach -5mm) where Q would denote the peck depth. work little like the G73 drilling where we just back off a little then continue on our way. then there should maybe be a 2nd cycle one to do a full retract back to the start level of the tapping cycle, maybe inabled with a R word? R0 or something G33 Z-5.0 Q1.0 R0 Kxx.xx (tap 5mm deep, 1mm deep peck/feed in retract back to clearance at XX feed, feed back into the hole. repeat until we get to -5mm) the last method i feel would not be used too often until pecking method with no full retract, above would add a huge advantage to EMCs rigid tapping. this saves a lot of tapping calls over and over to do a deep hole tapping routine. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=356744&aid=2166870&group_id=6744 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
