Re: Tapping with Tension/ Compression Tapping Head with Gibbs
hy sierevello
if you alter the feed, then be sure that once the tap reaches the bottom, you won't ruin your toolholder, but still have room available; thus do the math, calculate how much your toolholder will extend, and check if it is actually capable of doing it, but don't go over 80%eq, thus don't use it at the limit
also, a major factor is how your cnc syncronizes spindle phase and z travel, how much lag is there before reversing, etc ... to reduce all these unknows, use a lower rpm, since higher rpms require more reaction time / kindly
ps : you said that there is no cycle for rigid tapping, but maybe there is for float tapping ?
