I have searched endlessly looking for some answers and have not found anything, I am hoping someone can help me out.
Within Mastercam x5 lathe level 1, my tap feeds do not change when changing speed. I have to calculate it all out. Problem #1
also want to change G32 tap to G84 canned cycle with a tap M code beforehand. I may want to leave the G32 in the post and just add a G84 cycle... I don't know why I may ever need it again though. Problem #2
also need to force IPR with the feed of tap cycle. Problem #3
Help is greatly appreciated! If there is already a thread about this problem please direct me to the right place!
From what I can tell it looks like it is trying to do a single point.
The Lathe Toolpath you want is Drill. Try to change the tool library to LTAPS.tooldb. In drill cycle parameters there should be an option to select tapping.
If you can get those two things to work it should fix the issues.
Mastercam X5 help!!
