I need tap 1" pipe thread hole on my milling machine, any G-code to do it?
Thanks

G84 works fine with pipe taps.

1" pipe requires quite a bit of torque. So the real question is, How big is your machine and what is the material you are tapping? better off thread milling it IMO.

See, I'm trying to be more like this.

Instead of just breaking it off in a new guy.

Isn't it just like tapping any 1 inch thread?
You do have to get the depth right but the taper is in the tap itself.
Thread milling, yes big difference in the code.

Thanks for the reply. I guess I should say use fly cutter to do it. I did fly cut the tapped hole say M42, but don't know how to cut pipe thread hole.

Or are there code to cut taper hole by milling?

M42?
Now I'm confused.

Start a new thread and ask "How do I thread mill a 1" NPTF thread?". You will get answers then.

Thank you.
