G84 tap cycle is one of the mostly used function of CNC machining centers.
This G84 tapping cycle example program illustrates the use of tapping in an easy to understand way.
G84 tapping cycle is a modal G-code, so is cancelled with G80 otherwise it will execute tap operation on every X and/or Y move.
G84 Tapping Cycle Format
G84 X_ Y_ Z_ R_ F_
X Y – Hole position data
Z – Z-depth (feed to Z-depth starting from R plane)
R – Position of the R plane
F – Cutting feedrate
