M5 before M52. I ran cross your post somewhere about tapping with live tools. I've only been successful with G33.

You're thinking this, right?

M5
M52
G97 S5000 M13

Doesn't make sense to me as it alarmed when I was using MDI one line at a time. The spindle wasn't running (in spindle mode), and I could do an M52 and then jog the C-axis just fine. It only threw up when I tried to engage the M13.

But Emco is insane and anything's possible.


After some serious searching, I found a single example in the Emco 21TB programming manual (ver C2003-7) on page D49
...
G90 G40 G95
T0909
M52
G28 G0 C0
M13
G97 S5000
...

I wonder if the order is the difference? i.e. M13 on a separate line before the S-word.

Thanks for the advice regardless of outcome. I'll have a go with both versions a bit later tonight.
