Hi Folks,

I'm having trouble getting our sub spindle to do a tapping cycle. Is there a different Canned Cycle for the Sub Spindle?

The part is simple. It's a 1/8" dia rod, 3.3" long, with a 5-32 thread on one end, and a 5-40 thread on the other. I'm trying to roll a 5-40 thread on the Sub Spindle end.

This is what I have for code now on the front, which works fine:

N1040 T0808; //TOOL 8 CALL UP//
N1050 G97 S1000 M03; //CSS OFF - 1000 RPM//
N1060 G18; //XZ PLANE//
N1070 G00 G95 Z.5 M08; //FEED PER REV//
N1080 X0.0; //RAPID TO X0//
N1090 Z.2; //RAPID UP TO Z AXIS START POSITION//
N1100 G84 X0.0 Y0.0 Z-.75 P1.0 F.03125; //TAPPING CYCLE 5-32 THREAD//
N1110 G80 G00 Z.2; //BACK TO .2 OFF MATERIAL//
N1120 M05; //SPINDLE STOP//

This is what I'm trying on the sub spindle, which is not working:

N1400 T1919; //CALL UP TOOL 19 SUB SPINDLE 5-40//
N1405 G00 G54 X0.0;
N1410 M182; //LOOK SUB SPINDLE FOR FEED RATE CONTROL//
N1420 G97 S2=1000 M203; //**M203**CSS CANCEL - SUB SPINDLE 1000 RPM CLOCKWISE//
N1430 G00 G95 M28; //FEED PER REV - Z AXIS START LOCATION - COOLANT ON//
N1440 Z-.2;
N1450 G84 X0.0 Y0.0 Z.44 P1.0 F.025; //SUB SPINDLE TAPPING CYCLE AT 40 TPI// /
N1460 G80 G00 Z-.2; //BACK TO .2 OFF MATERIAL//

Can anyone help me out?

Kevin
