Hi,

I have recently lost all the parameters in my CNC mill. I had to re-enter all of them one by one. my problem now is that I can't work the rigid Tapping on the machine. That was a standard option when the machine was bought.
What the machine does is locate to the R point, the spindle stops but doesn't re-start. It does the tapping motion, feed to Z deep and back to R point, moves to the next co-ordinate and does it cycle again. I am not sure why the spindle doesn't start.
Here is the section of program used. This program worked before the lost of parameters.

T3 M6
G0 G90 X2.5383 Y.9291 S500 M3
G43 H3 Z.1
G95
M29 S500
G99 G84 Z-.45 R.1 F31.25 ( 3/8 - 16 NC Tap)
X and Y to next position....
G80

There is probably a parameter or couple that still need to be altered.

Hope someone can help,

Thanks,
