HELP! Bridgeport VMC 1000 tapping Code

[fabrc8r]

Using Bobcad and can't spit out a good code for this. Using a Heidenhain 2500b control. Using a floating tap holder. Anyone have any answers here? We have tried several mill posts already and were on tech support with bobcad for about an hour yesterday.

10-32 is the tap size going .25 depth in a thru hole. We are striking out and I need a project out the door.

Thanks in advance.

G code is G code, I am only familiar with conversational, and there is a cycle for that

Gus,

Thanks for the reply. G code is what i'm after.. am I after G84 with some dwell code or P04? I think the code is fragmented from Bobcad because it won't accept on the Heidehain.

won't accept as in an error on transfer?

Does that controller have a graphical interface? On my 426 when I enter G85(rigid) in the editor it pulls up a screen tat shows all of the P codes, P1 is for the clearance plane, P2 is for the depth, has to be negative for RH tap, and P3 is for pitch, positive for RH tap.
Looks like this;

G85 P01 0.1 P02 -0.50 P03 0.03125

Obviously There is more before and after for location, repeat, etc. This is for rigid, I'll try G84 and see what it does in a few minutes.

On the 426
G84 P01 X.XX (clearance plane over part) P02 X.XX(depth of tap) P03 (dwell in seconds) P04 (Feed Rate, I'm guessing in IPM)

I don't use it so if someone wants to expand please do.
