why?),
spindle reverses and tool feeds out. Retract rate can be set by
parameter
to be as much as 4x the infeed.

For general tapping (a number of average, meaning no more than 3x tap
dia,
thru holes or blind holes with plenty of room for chips) what would be
the
advantage of one cycle over the other?



The advantage for 3x the pull out is to reduce cycle time. I can't think
of an advantage to dwelling at the bottom of a thread. Maybe to reduce
heat before pulling it out at 3x the infeed. Fanuc also has a peck cycle
for rigid tapping as well. Pretty cool to watch.

I wonder if the outfeed is adjustable on a Haas VMC this way. I've not
noticed it just skimming through the parmeters. I use it every time I
tap on my Mazak M-Plus mill (H300 =300%). We've got a large lot of
simple tapped blocks comming up on the Haas.
