Hi all
brief intro
Live in Australia, Queensland, Goldcoast.
I'm a qualified fitter turner with cnc experience since 1988
Machine controllers used; Haas and Fanuc.
Machine types
Lathes Mill turn with c and y axis.
3,4 axis vertical machining centers
5axis horizontal machining center

I'm hoping the knowledge bank here can help.
I have recently got the use of a Daewoo Lynx 200 with 21tb controller 2 axis lathe.
nicknamed "the nugget"
so far I have changed from workshift to work coordinates aka G54,G55 etc
type 2 turning cycle for plunge profile turning in G71
drill pecking/clearance G83
but cannot get rigid tapping to work.
I have tried all the combinations of m29s*** before G84,in the same line etc
but continue to get the same result
G84 on it's own taps but for floating holder only.
Engage the m29 the tap gets to the position and just does nothing apart from the spindle having some load/Resistance until I reset the spindle rotates freely.
parameters I think are original install from factory, I have backed up the file several stages along the way

My only experience with rigid tapping has been with Haas Machines, it's either on or off kind of feature.

Q can this Nugget actually rigid tap?

Jorg
