G84 Tap Cycle, VFD, Floating Tap Holder and Mach3: Video
« on: September 20, 2010, 10:45:23 AM »
Initial testing with the G84 Tap Cycle and Mach3: Using a floating tap holder from MariTool we were able to Tap ¼ 20 threads with almost no tuning to our system.

We disabled the dwell feature on the spindle start and stop and tested with foam core first, then plastic and finally the ½ plate of 6061

Nice, good to see things are working well :)
I have  never done any tapping yet but just today a tapping head arrived from eBay so I will have to give it a go sometime.

You can "chop it off" but can't "chop it on"

Very nice!
What brand is the mill you are using?

Looks like you found the build link...  Here it is for others that be looking

I can't tell you enough how happy I am with Mach3.  It does have a couple issues when we do things we should be doing...  But overall, it is a very nice tool with the flexibility to allow us to customize just about anything we need.  THANK YOU !
