However you could not even get the prog to run because note the initial

You guys are brutal.
That program segment is from a program I've been running (running this job right now, coincidentally), getting 200-300 holes/tap without breakage. The Z value is unique to this part since there's a shelf below my Z-zero where the tap starts..giving me both the minimum tap initiation level above the part and some extra head room to make sure chips are cleared. I know it doesn't look right, and now ya got me scratching my head....I'll check it in the morning and post here what's going on.
I'm using the expensive Tapmatic rigid tap holders, btw, and LOVE 'em.
