Hidden in this is the fact that either resyncs the spindle to z phaseing at the starting/resting place for either a G76 or a g33.1 for every stroke it makes. And a change in spindle speed will change that phasing, screwing up the thread. So the spindle does not stay synced with Z during the entirety of a G76, each of the pass cuts is a fresh sync. And If you have to write a peck loop for tappping because you don't have a 20 horse spindle it is also freshly resynced at the top of each g33.1. I usually stretch that top stop long enough to blow most of the swarf off the spinning tap, and to give it a drink of rapid tap or buttercut. It Helps to keep the tap from packing full. > Peter Wallace > Mesa Electronics > > > > _______________________________________________ > Emc-users mailing list > Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
