Lab 11

Writing A Program for Tapping

Cycle on CNC Milling Machine
 Objective
• In this lab we have to learn about tapping cycle
operationusing CNC milling machine and
constructing a program for tapping cycle.
 Introduction
• Tapping is the process of cutting a thread
inside a hole so that a cap screw or bolt can be
threaded into the hole.

 Codes
• G84 Code: Tapping of right hand threads to be
done with M03 spindle rotation.
• G74 Code: Tapping of left hand threads to be
done with M04 spindle rotation.

 Feed Calculations
Feed = RPM * Pitch
If pitch= 0.5 mm RPM= 200 rpm
Feed = 200 * 0.5 mm
Feed = 100 mm/min
