How correct you are..got all bases covered.. as this thread is a couple of years old to start with..


Thanks for the update..glad to see you around.

yes but im not sure about the j address. i used a setting for this --- im not sure witch one it is(i am at home but will post it when i find it) but it allows you to reverse up to 9 times faster than the move in ---this setting is ony for the newer machine controls (they put it in on controls some time between 1996 and 2002)

I have a Yasnac I80, and I would like to peck tap.

I didn't know Haas made a machine with a Yasnak control.....

Hello PBMW,
You are correct this is not a Haas mill. I was drawn into this forum by the peck tapping discussion. I would also like to hear of different ways to lube tap.
thanks,

We have a Haas SL_30, found the rigid tapping cycle (G95) for axial and (G195) for lineal very fine. Have found one draw back however, being the need to drill larger than the nominal tapping drill size in order to avoid overloading the Y-Axis. Try using spiral flute tap for blind and gun for long through tapping. Sorry but haven't heard anything of peck tapping. Our lathe supports live rigid but I know nothing of peck tapping.

I run HAAS Mills and Lathes everyday. I have had to peck tap when cutting or forming deep threads. The HAAS control will read multiple tap cycles one right after the other, Just change the Z depth on each cycle.

Sorry guys! Next time I will try not to use the word "silly." No offensens intended.
I just wanted to know what the reason would be.

I do so little tapping in hard material that I do it all by hand. I have broken many a tap in the last 45 years and pretty much have a good feal for how to avoid it!
I always look for at least 2 diameters thread engagement.
I always try for 75% or less thread.
I use Tap Magic on all tapping that doesn't happen the the Haas.
