    Default tapping on m32b

    Can someone post an example of good code for tapping on an m32b control? Machine is a vtc 20.
    My post processor might be off a little, my spindle will stop just above the hole, feed down and back up with the spindle ever turning on. No alarm, just no tapping.

    Post the code you have. It should just be a simple G84 call something like this:

    T1T2M6
    G0G54X0Y0S400M3
    G43H1Z.2
    G98G84Z-.5F.05
    G80M9
    G0G91G28Z0M5
    M1

    The tapping feed will depend on parameters whether or not your feed is set for IPM or IPR. Also, if your parameter is set for Mazatrol Tool Data, then your tool data page will need to show that tool as a tap. I can't remember if M32s had the use of a "G84.2" or not (tapping with only IPR).

    It's just a part..... cutter still goes round and round....
