X9 METRIC TAPS IN INCH TOOL LIBRARY NOT WORKING!

[Mickey@acceltool]

I have always had my metric taps in my inch tools library. I do not have a separate metric tool library. I use my inch one with metric tools in them. ALways have since X4. Now with X9 I can bring in the tap and all is fine till I want to slow the sfm down on SS Material and the feed rate goes to max. I have always been able to turn the sfm down and the feed rate and rpms would update accordingly........Why????

I see your (FPT) is set to pitch mine was set to (TPI)... OK..... I try to set mine to FPT as the description says and it will not change????

I type in  .059 for a 1.5mm pitch and it reverts right back to 16.93??? wth???

Try grabbing JParis' metric tap library in imperial units:

I picked it up a couple weeks ago and it's working great.

A 1.50mm pitch is the same as a 16.933333 tpi pitch
