Our shop has a Bridgeport with an Anilam 3000M unit. There is no problem using the Bolt Hole canned cycle to drill holes. However, I want to then have the machine repeat the hole pattern, stopping at each hole so I may hand tap that hole before continuing onto the next hole. To raise and lower the quill during tapping I must be in manual mode, but to run the Bolt Hole cycle requires it be in MDI mode. How do I get the machine to stop at each hole position so I may tap the hole. (This machine does not have automatic spindle speed or direction control, so I can't use the canned Tapping cycle). Thanks.
