I need some help with tapping.
I have a Cincinnati Sabre 750 Mill with Acramatic 850 control.
It does NOT have ridged tapping.
I HAVE tapped with it before.
I used a G84 and a spring loaded tap holder.
I am trying to tap a 1/4-28 hole.
The code is as follows:
T21 M06
G94 X.5005 Y-.135 S300 F.01 M03 M08
G00 Z.5
G84 Z-.7679 R.1 F10.713
X1.5005 Z-.7679
X2.5005
X3.5005
X4.5005
X5.5005
G80
When I try to run the cycle I get error 15214 - TOOL ABSENT OR DATA ERROR
Which according to the book means I dont have the tool data table filled out completely or something is wrong.
In the table I have:
Tool length as touched off to Z0
Diameter deviation .25
Number of teeth 4
Tool Type Tap
Angle 118 - what should I use for an angle on a tap? pretty sure thats what I used before was 118.
What am I missing or what else could be causing the error? I have done quite a bit of tapping and not had this much trouble, except its been a while since I did it and I am rusty....
The manual for the machine shows VERY LITTLE info about tapping.... Just says G84 is the tapping cycle....
Any help would be awesome! Thanks in advance, ZachN
