Hello guys, I feel we are getting close! We are working on the finer things in Mach4 now.. Here is a short video of me tapping some holes:

This is using the feedback from the VFD to know how fast to feed the Z axis :) This was done with the G84 cycle!
Here is the code that I ran:
G90
M3 S800
G95
G0 Z.5
G84 X0 y0 Z-1.0 R.25 F.041
G91 X-.5 L5
G80
G90
M5
M30
Thanks
Brian

RPMS a tad low or feed a tad high?
-
Brian,
I'm curious.... I see significant under-feed on the way down, especially as the spindle stops, and even more significant over-feed on the way up. Looks to me like it's probably approaching the travel limits of the tension/compression holder. Is the coordination not occurring during part of the cycle, like after the spindle is turned off at the end of the down-feed? Or is the programmed feed wrong for that tap?
Regards,
Ray L.

Yeah The RPM is a tap high... I have not calibrated it .. I will fix for the next video

Hello Ray This was only the first pass at it .. That was the first time I ran the cycle with a tap in the holder.. The ramp time on this drive sucks, I ahve a new drive ordered that should work much much better..
