Changing feed rate for Tapping. (g84)

[PHR]

Hi all,

 

I would like to know how can I change the feed rate (ipm) in my .pst file to output the feed in inch/rev?

 

 

G84 Z0. R.1 F53.48---->F0.050 for 20tpi (rigid taping with 1/4-20 tap) My machine needs a feed per revolution.

 

Mitsubishi Meldas m70 controller.

 

Thanks.

If you're using the MpMaster post it is misc integer #6, switch it to 1 and it will output ipr.

 

Other wise you'll need to do some post editing to setup the math necessary to change the feed to pitch.
