Is there something better?

I removed the G80 thinking that might be a "canned drill cycle" and then changed G20 to G70 for inches... There is not a G20 listed in the programing manual. No change ......

No cigar :( I can't run or block because it throws that error... I am wondering if the G20 is a problem. As far as I can tell there is not a G20 for the control... As I understand it G20 is for...

Mine has the gearbox and a top speed of 6500... I can really slow it down also :)
I had thought that there as a compression tap holder ( or some other type) needed.
Good idea on the thread...
My 22 came wired and with a 4th axis. From what I understand the x axis drive card was damaged and they pulled the A drive card and switched it to X. I have not had time to really test this out but...

Also I was wondering if the machine has the power to tap 3/4"-10 in 3/4" A 36 plate.
MIne is half there..... I'll be back later with the measurements...
I would be interested in a new set for mine if I don't faint at the price :)
Thank you very much!
