Yep, the current one is a completely new build, but it requires the machine configuration to do more than 3 axes.

TCP must set to true in the PP

I already made the rigid tapping changes and pecking instead of chip breaking.

I will add more stuff. Maybe we can work together on it, so we will have all mods in one place.

Hi uwe, that sounds good. If you have discord or whatever we can talk about a way to organize this.

I have no discord, but we could open a new thread like Spikee/Uwe PP.

If one of us is making changes post the new PP version.

Any change should be with a spikee / Uwe comment.

I have the next days anyway no time to work on it, must get the new control in a perfectly working condition and build the 5th axis to have some hardware for testing. So I doubt we are working on it in the same time.

I tired tapping holes with chip breaking on some 7075 aluminum toe clamps. I used the chip breaking simply to see how delicately I can tap holes in the event that I want to sue 3d printed soft jaws. Just an experiment. I think every worked fine, but the spindle made loud sounds as it stopped abruptly for each peck cycle.

I did not have luck video taping the actual run, but here is another test run using 6061. It sounded exactly the same. On the actual run, I used MQL lubrication. It was too loud for the test run so I loaded the tap and hole with A9.

NOTE: This is an uncoated spiral point tap. I wanted to use the same tap that I used for the toe clamps, so I drilled the hole all the way through for this test run.

What do you think... Does this sound strange or am I overthinking?

Thanks... I did not think about that. Looks like all is working fine. Thanks.
