we normally do this on the hand mill and a tapmatic  however I have some time and was thinking of trying it on the vfs22.
in the book they have the example set up as this.(using a 3/8-16)
T3 M06
G90 G54 G00 X.5 Y3.0 S900 M03
G43 H3 Z0.2 M08
G84 Z-0.6 R0.2 F45.0 (changed to 1/4-20)
X1.2 Y-2.0
etc etc
I read there was an option for coming out faster and I need to make it normal? Also Peck tapping that sounds interesting due to the deep tapped holes.
Someone care to give the proper code for rigid tapping and rigid peck tapping?
Also do I need to worry about the coming out speed being faster?
How fast can you rigid tap? I know the fadal is 2000rpm max but saw nothign about the HAAS and there manuals kinda are vague.
Its a factory stock vf2ss with every option,
Edit, the book didnt show the g99 on the G84 line but I know to put this in at least I think with the haas it needs to go in

Delw-
Pull up the programming handbook on HAAS's site. It will answer both of these questions.
