* A floating tap hoi&r is required far tapping. The ffoitting tap holder compensates ths tototerances for feed rate
and spindle speed during the tapping process.

right-hand threads activate the spindfe v&h MS: for left-hanci threads use M4.
Process
l
The thread is cut in one pass.
l
When the tool reaches the total hole depth, the
direction of spindle rotation is reversed. After the
programmed dwell time the tool is retracted to
the starting position.
l
At the starting position, the direction of rotation
is reversed once again.

cycle
l
SET-UP CLEARANCE @ (incremental value):
Distance between tool tip (starting position) and workpiece surface.
Standard value: 4x thread pitch.
l
TOTAL HOLE DEPTH @ (thread length, incremental value):
Distance between workpiece surface and end of thread
l
DWELL TIMI3 IN SECONDS:
Enter a dwell time between 0 and 0.5 seconds to prevent wedging of
the tool when retracted.
l
FEEDRATEF:
Traversing speed of the tool during tapping.
The feed rate is calculated as follows:
F = S-p
F: Feed rate (mm/min)
s: Spindle speed (rpm)
P:
Pitch (mm)
