Peck-tapping on haas mill

[shawncnelson]

On the Mori I use, I just add a Q value to a G84 line and the machine peck taps, it works great! Anyone know how to make a Haas control do it? Mine just ignores the Q.

Guess I should have searched a little harder. When the tech comes to do the install on my new lathe, I'll put the screws to him about it. WE NEED THE Q!

Hey man,i just go into setting/graph go down the setting and you will see orient spindle in tapping mode in the setting menu turn it on,then just set the retract back to a neg value in z and start a g84 again,only way i know how 2.or like i do i go all the way out,sometimes put a m00 on it,so i can clean the chips.Then tap back down to a deaper level.I always throw a J05 in the line also,this will cause it to retract out at Jx5.So if i was taping at 200rpm,it will come out at 1000.I love that.Lol ,Guess they told you about setting 51 also,how to turn off the button!If not go to it and change it to yes,Damn that button.
