Multicam MG - can I thread tap or mill

[JoyMonkey]

I run a Multicam MG 304 for a sign-shop that does a lot of sign letters and parts in aluminum and cast acrylic that require holes to be tapped for mounting. I've always just drilled holes and had some guys in the workshop manually tap the holes, but I'd like know if it's possible to get the Multicam to tap or mill everything for me.
Has anyone else with a Multicam or similar cnc router tried thread tapping or milling?

I dont know if your machine can tap. If not, you might want to check out a Tapmatic tapping head http://www.tapmatic.com/

you need a tapping spindle for that. so probably not!

I'll look into those Tapmatic heads a little further. Thanks!

I've only had our Multicam 3000 for a few months but it thread mills no problem.

I've done some 3/8" npt threads and cut a 1/2"-13 thread with a single point threadmill.

Almost all cnc's can Thread Mill as you need no special spindle for it.
