Hi @agVNF7Z

Thanks for posting. I think it is likely that you are using a post processor that does not support the Tap with Chip Breaking (or other tapping cycles).

Tapping with chip breaking is not supported in a lot of the generic posts, but your machine controls may allow for this style of tapping. It could be that the control supports this tapping cycle, but it is not in the generic post. If you open the CPS file you are using for the post, you can see which drilling cycles are supported by the post in the onCyclePoint function. You will see a 'case' statement for the supported cycles.

If you need to edit your post to include more taping operations, please reach out for assistance on the HSM Post Processor forum - there are some great resources for Javascript questions there who should be able to help.

Please let me know if you have any questions!
