    Iain is learning how to program tapping cycles on a Haas VMC without assistance. He is having trouble determining the correct speeds and feeds for tapping and is hoping to create a quick reference table. SteveoSRD provides a simple G-code example for tapping an M5 hole at 1000rpm and 800mm/min feed based on the pitch. Felix notes that 1000rpm may be too fast for UNF and UNC taps and has had success tapping at 500rpm and 750mm/min feed.

    _____________________________________

    :unsure: i am just learning without any help in programeing a haas vmc VF-0 mill.i am haveing problems trying to work
    out the correct matching speed and feed for tapping .am not very good at formule so i need something simple i can follow
    as at the moment im basicly just makeing a bigger hole instead of a taped one either that or its tapping when it goes in
    but ripping the thread back off when it reverses back to the given height .
    i am hopeing to make a table of speeds and feeds for all kinds of taps as a quick reference .but need something simple
    to work with .
    can anyone help
    i use the usuall metric,imperial,unf,unc taps and hopeing i can use the same formule .

    iain

    either post here or send to my email address at iainbl@msn.com

    _____________________________________

    I have a haas TM 2 and use Rigid tapping. (N98)


    Speed = I always use 1000rpm
    Feed = Seed x Pitch
    i.e M5x0.8 feed @1000rpm = 1000x0.8 = 800

    Exaple below of basic 10mm deep M5 Hole

    M01
    (5 MM M5 HSS TAP)
    T1 M06
    G90 G54
    S1000 M03
    G43 H1 D1
    G00 X0. Y0. Z5.
    G98 G84 Z-10. R1. F800.0
    G80
    G00 Z5.
    G53 Z100. M09
    G53 X-381. Y0. M05
    M30

    Hope this helps


    This is one of the reasons i bought OneCNC as it does all this for you

    thanks for that but isnt 1000rpm bit fast for unf and unc

    ive never managed to tap anything faster with a speed of 500 and a feed of 750

    but thank you

    i will give it a try
