    Rigid Tapping

    Rigid tapping works find, but after rigid tapping cycle and tool returns to Z home it goes through tapping cycle before changing tool. What's going on?

    Thanks for any help anyone has to offer.

    Thanks Neal
    Works fine when I added G80. I've been using the F function to end program but it put a Z0 G53 line in and program want run so I've been deleting that line. Put line back in & changed G53 to G80
    problem gone. Thanks again
