Tap Parameters

Introduction

This topic contains the operational parameters found in the Hole Wizard for the Tap Operation.

Hole Groups - Important

When defining the parameters (the Parameters page of the wizard) for drilling operations, be sure to select a group in the Hole Groups list before changing the parameters. Then make sure to define the parameters for all groups in the feature. However, note that center drill and chamfer operations do not have a Hole Groups list as these operations automatically use the same parameters for all groups in the feature.

Clear the check box to manually change the values that were automatically calculated.

• Overall Depth - is the total depth from the Top of Part, including the tool tip. This value is output in the posted NC program.
