TAPERED

here is the pipe plug https://www.fastenal.com/products/details/40124?term=metric+pipe+plug

Good Friday Morning . Need Help, I have a call out for a m10 by 1 hole for a tapered plug. I've searched high and low for info on a m10 by 1 tapered taped tap . I could not fine a tapered metric tap in any size. What i came up with was that you tap the tapered hole with a standard m10 by 1 tap. Is this correct info.

I not sure what is creating the difference. I"m using asme post . I have two different part files. I would like to post block numbers with the N100 then N110 at tool changes (bottom code.) My other part file is posting block numbers ever line. I'm not sure what I've changed to cause the difference between the two part files. Any Ideas on how to get me back to just the block # on tool changes Thanks Heavy N3 G00 G17 G20 G40 G80 G90******************* N4 G116 T8 (3/8 SPOT DRILL HSS) N5 S560 M03 N6 G15 H2 N7 G00 G90 X-1.625 Y-1.3125 N8 G56 H8 Z3.

We are looking at a Roders machine for high spped milling and the salesmen said we couldn't use Mastecam to program. We woulld have to step up tp a different software. Is this just a line of crap. Is anyone out there running these machines. Type of work we would be doing is small cavity work with .02 to 03 or smaller endmills? EDM finish is not good enough anymore. Thanks

Where is the .LIC file ?

I tried that I must have not got it named right. I will look at it again Thanks

I made some changes to a post. I want to keep the orginal so I re-named the one i changed but i get a post error. Something about a missing binary file. I assume this is because another file is linked to this this post for it to run correctly. I thought it was the .psb file so i copied and changed it to same name but I stil get a error when posting. The post is for c-axis lathe. Not sure where to look next?

Thanks for the replies. I have thought about leaving tabs. Just wanted to bounce it off everyone. I might look into the tape maybe for the light cut finish work. I agree this is a ugly part.
