Tapping with NX
Tapping with NX
(OP)
Hello everyone
Someone knows if is posible adding the retract move for the "tapping operation"
in NX, i want to cut .200 inches, and retract .100, just like a break chip
operation.
Thanks

RE: Tapping with NX
In Drilling you can set the Rtrcto value to distance and it should retract between each hole.
In Hole making you need to go to the non cutting moves and set the Transfer/Rapid - Between Holes
