6.5.5 Tapping Cycle (G84)
This cycle performs tapping.
In this tapping cycle, when the bottom of the hole has been reached,
the spindle is rotated in the reverse direction.

Explanation
- Operations
Tapping is performed by rotating the spindle clockwise.
CAUTION
Feedrate override is ignored during tapping. In
addition, applying feed hold does not stop the
machine until return operation is completed.
- Spindle rotation
Before specifying G84, use an auxiliary function (M code) to rotate
the spindle.
When drilling in which the distance from the hole position and initial
level to the point R level is short is continuously performed, the
spindle may not reach the normal speed by the time cutting operation
for the hole is ready to be performed. In this case, reserve a time by
inserting dwelling by G04 before each drilling operation without
specifying repetitive count L.
Since this consideration may not be required depending on the
machine type, refer to the manual issued by the machine tool builder.
