Sadly I've been operating FADALs for the last ten years and now I work in a shop that has no FADALs. One of the machines that I'm programming is a brand new OKK VM7. I cant figure out exactly how to rigid tap. I tried the same type of cycle that I used on the FADAL but it doesn't seem to be working right. the cycle I used was as follows
G43H*Z.1
G98G84Z-.5R.1Q.05F300.
G80
The OKUMAs that I run use an M29 above the cycle and no Q. the feed rate is the pitch x the RPM.
When I tried using a G84.1 it told me that it was an improper G code.
