    Rigid tapping issues

    Hey all,
    I have a doozy...
    We have a machine that does various operations and whatnot. One of the operations is rigid tapping.
    Here's the facts:
    1. We can run a 3/4-16 tap with no issue. 3/4-20 is alway oversized by about 0.004". We don't run any other sizes.
    2. We trammed the face of the turret, indicated our pockets and tools in, etc.
    3. Did a bar cut test, everything looks good (spindle and turrent seem to be aligned).
    4. Our pre-tap hole is good, and we tried moving it around, with no success.
    5. We are using a tension-compression floating tap holder.
    6. Here is the portion of the program:
    N09(3/4-20 TAP T#-3392)
    M98P1000 (offset program for touching off)
    M8
    M26
    M6
    G0G99G97X0T909
    G0X0Z.4
    M29S400
    G84Z-.5F.050
    G80
    M9
    G0Z2.0

    Anybody ever hear of anything like this?

    Thanks for any feedback!

    Have you checked the H limit on the tap
    If youre in g95 mode your code is correct
    If in g94 the feed should be F20
