If the CAM programmer uses proper best practices, whenever a tapping cycle is programmed, the feed rate should be expressed in units per revolution (PERREV). However, situations may [...]

Different machine designs use the multiple spindles in different ways.

But this mode only provides tool tip linearization not full linear interpolation: the controller keeps the tool tip moving on a straight line, but performs constant interpolation of the rotary axes. If from start location to the end location there is large rotary [...]

Many modern controllers have an RTCP function that does this automatically (e.g., Siemens TRAORI, Fanuc G43.5, Heidenhain [...]
