I'm trying to write this program for my VMCs
Starting on the 18iMA on a 3 axes VMC bed mill. Using G54, G55 & G56. 3 Kurt D688s on the table.
Tapping a part in A36 1" thick steel plate. No blind tapping, all thru holes. Several different locations several, different sizes of taps. Including the drilling of the holes too.
Part is spread across three vises on the 15x30 table. Workstops on 4 corners.
