Dave,

  Thanks for your help, here's whats going on, this is what is was like,



@FXD4
 G1 Z#ZPASS F#FEED M05
 #EVAL(#FEED=#FEED*1.1)
 G1 Z#ZPOS F#FEED M04
 M05
 M03

The code is processed as such...

N790 M1 ;
N795 M98 P1;
N800 G0 X5.0 Z3.0 T0500 M9 ;
N805 T0600  ( L 0.250 DIA. FIXED TAP MIKE MADE THIS TAP, );
N810 G97 S800 F0.0417 M3;
N815 G0 X0.0 Z0.1 T0606 M8;
N820 G1 Z-0.748 F0.0417 M05;
N825 ;
N830 G1 Z0.1 F0.0458 M04;
N835 M05;
N840 M03;
N845 G0 X5.0 Z3.0 T0600 M9;
N850 M98 P2;
N855 M30;


This is what I did to it as per your instructions, I also changed the smf to
D2.6,

@FXD4
 G1 Z#ZPASS F#FEED M05
 F#FMT(#FTHRD,D1.6) 
 G1 Z#ZPOS F#FEED M04
 M05
 M03

The code is processed as such...

N790 M1 ;
N795 M98 P1;
N800 G0 X5.0 Z3.0 T0500 M9 ;
N805 T0600  ( L 0.250 DIA. FIXED TAP MIKE MADE THIS TAP, );
N810 G97 S800 F0.0417 M3;
N815 G0 X0.0 Z0.1 T0606 M8;
N820 G1 Z-0.748 F0.0417 M05;
N825 F0.041667 ;
N830 G1 Z0.1 F0.0417 M04;
N835 M05;
N840 M03;
N845 G0 X5.0 Z3.0 T0600 M9;
N850 M98 P2;
N855 M30;


The programing manual calls for the format to be like this...

G32 Z-.75 E.049
G4 U.5
G32 Z.25 E.050 M4


Now if you don't mind I am anxiously seeking a solution to this problem so
any help would be extreemly benificial, thank!
