I manage to resolve the spindle rotation and thread pitch, even the thread size (i only needed the no, like 6 for M6 thread, and so on).    <BLOCKQUOTE><TABLE border="1"><TBODY><TR><TD>  case "tapping": var SDAC = SDIR; // direction of rotation after end of cycle var SDR = 0; // direction of rotation for retraction var ENC = 1; // tapping with/without encoder     var MPIT = tool.diameter;  // thread pitch as thread size M3:3 and M4:4     var PIT = ((tool.type == TOOL_TAP_LEFT_HAND) ? -1 : 1) * tool.threadPitch; // thread pitch as a value     var AXN = 3; // tool axis     writeBlock(       "MCALL CYCLE840(" + xyzFormat.format(RTP) +       ", " + xyzFormat.format(RFP) +       ", " + xyzFormat.format(SDIS) +       ", " + xyzFormat.format(DP) +       ", " /*+ xyzFormat.format(DPR)*/ +       ", " + conditional(DTB > 0, secFormat.format(DTB)) +       ", " + xyzFormat.format(SDR) +   ", " + xyzFormat.format(SDAC) +   ", " + xyzFormat.format(ENC) +       ", " + xyzFormat.format(MPIT) +       ", " + xyzFormat.format(PIT) +       ", " + xyzFormat.format(AXN) + ")"     );     break;</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></BLOCKQUOTE> Thank you for the feedrate tip, it's working perfectly  ;D Sun, 08 Nov 2015 00:49:02 GMT mecanicu 2015-11-08T00:49:02Z
