After the great help i had before on my post to allow use of a tapping head, I have now modified the mill to allow me to use rigid tapping 🙂
I have attached my post below as I have tweaked it a little since it was last on the forum.
What I want is to be able to use the Tapping process, set a feed-rate and possible bottom dwell but have the code come out designed around this plugin code for my motion controller...
M84 Q-20 P1.5 S300 R400
Where...
M84 = plugin call macro
Q = thread depth
P = thread pitch
S = feed rate
R = retract rate
I did look myself but these post processors are still above my head for this type of change, the positioning, clearance, feed height are all as before.
It cant use the canned cycle style so will need a call after each move.
Would be great if someone could have a look for me 🙂
Many thanks
