G CODES

G84 Tapping Canned Cycle Group 09
F Feed Rate in inches (mm) per minute
L Number of repeats
R Position of the R plane
X Optional X-axis motion command
Y Optional Y-axis motion command
Z Position of bottom of tap
This G code is modal in that once activated, every motion of X and/or Y will cause this canned cycle to be
executed until it is canceled or another canned cycle is selected. Note that operation of this cycle is different if
the rigid tapping option is installed and selected (See Section 7.2). When rigid tapping is used, the ratio
between the feed rate and spindle speed must be precisely the thread pitch being cut.
You do not need to start the spindle CW before this canned cycle. The control does this automatically.
