Title: Which MACH3 or MACH4 Can Cycle is suitable for these do-it-all bits?
Post by: reuelt on September 24, 2020, 12:11:28 AM

Assuming I can slow down the spindle speed and only doing thru-holes,
Which MACH3 or MACH4 G-CODE Can Cycle would be suitable for these do-it-all bits?

i think it depends on your Controller. i am using a CSMIO and there it is done with macro M84 in Mach3.

code could be soemething like this

Code: [Select]

%
G21 G40 G00 G99 G17

G0 Z10                                     (lift z-up)
G0 X10 Y10                               (go to drill position)
M3 S1000                                  (spindle on with higher speed for the drilling)
G1 Z-5 F100                              (drill the hole)
M3 S100                                    (Slow spindle down to tap speed)
G84 X10 Y10 Z-10 R10 L1 F50     (tap and debur)


all S an F Parameter Need to be calculated to your pitch.
and you will Need a spindle Feedback.
