10 - inch pitch? Possibly ignore me, as I know FA about Mazak. Should it not be F0.0313? (1/32=0.03125)

Yeah. Take out the G95 and your program should run fine.

I tried that...had to use the pitch for the feed(says Mazatrol tech)

Well then your feed is wrong.

In G94, F10 is right.

In G95, F.03125 is right.

Have you had your coffee today?

G94 is feed/minute. G95 is feed/revolution. Right now, you are telling it to feed 10"/revolution. That's beyond the ability of an machine, so it alarmed out.

Change your G95 to a G94 and you will be ready to go.

When the machine comes from the factory, it taps in IPR regardless of G94 or G95. That's why you guys aren't quite on the same page.

ewlsey...what he said^^^^^

In a haas this code works...and my feed rate is generic...320 rpm @ 10ipm

Change the feedrate from F10.0 to F.03125 as ewsley said and go drink some coffee.

Thanks Phil
Too late for coffee and i finally got it to tap a part around 10 this morn. Now its pork loin on the grill and a quick nap before bed.

Wait a minute? quick nap before bed? WTF? LOL. And wait a minute again! How did you get in front of a Mazak anyways? I thought you were stuck at the HAAS? Congrats on breaking out!

I like me some tender-loin!!!

ewlsey · Aug 30, 2013

Makes sense. The only Mits controls I've used were G95 only for tapping.

Nice parts. Does it start from a solid?

Yeah from solid. He is going to turn the last two profiles. Solid brass door knobs. I made a few extra because lord know i cant afford to buy anything like that.

Took me longer to figure out the tap cycle than it did to program the contour.

Is the 'not very savvy Turkish guy' (Erich?) cool with that? :skep:

Got it. BTW, Erich is of German descent--not Turkish. :reading:
