6-32 Tapping need help.
Shiny tap--no coating. You can try the spiral--however, the straight flute is much stronger if you have room for the chips in the hole. Slow down the RPM's and/or try a spring loaded collet or tapping holder. 6-32's are some of the trickiest holes to get tapping well in a production run...- ASARGENT

how to stop the gantry loader robot flex-GL 100 inside Mazatrol 640T?
You are trying to just run the machine without using the Gantry, correct? If that is all you are doing, all you need to do is remove the G20 and the G21 from your program. Is that all you are looking for? If not, let me know and I can dig in deeper. -
