Subject: Ridged tapping in KmotionCNC
Hi Tom,

You mentioned last year on this forum (23-may-2011) that ridged tapping G70-G74 was not yet supported, is this still the case? Will it be in the next upgrade?

Is there a place where users can place suggestions, or a wish list for future upgrades?

Many thanks

Henk

Hi Henk,

I'm not sure G70-74 relate to rigid tapping.  But rigid tapping is supported via a Macro in Mach3.

see:

The same method should work with KMotionCNC.  The only issue is passing down 6 parameters to the C Program to define the cycle.  We recently added the capability for C programs to read Interpreter Variables so that is no longer a problem.  If you would like to do this and can't figure it out I can help you.

I suppose the place for a wish list would be here on the Yahoo Group.

Regards
TK
