#78 Deep Cycle rigid peck tapping.
would be very nice to see a peck tapping cycle added into EMC for deep holes or that hard to tap metal.
just adding a Q into the G33 cycle.
so command could look like
G33 Z-5.0 Q1.0 Kxx.xx
(tap 5mm deep, with 1mm peck depth at XX feed, repeat untill we reach -5mm)
where Q would denote the peck depth. work little like the G73 drilling where we just back off a little then continue on our way.
then there should maybe be a 2nd cycle one to do a full retract back to the start level of the tapping cycle, maybe inabled with a R word? R0 or something
G33 Z-5.0 Q1.0 R0 Kxx.xx
(tap 5mm deep, 1mm deep peck/feed in retract back to clearance at XX feed, feed back into the hole. repeat until we get to -5mm)
the last method i feel would not be used too often until pecking method with no full retract,
above would add a huge advantage to EMCs rigid tapping.
this saves a lot of tapping calls over and over to do a deep hole tapping routine.
I think the submitter meant G33.1 instead of G33
