M HoleMode

SimpleL

Tapping to the designated depth directly with left-handed thread.

SimpleR

Tapping to the designated depth directly with right-handed thread.

PeckL

Lift Z up a fixed distance after every step of tapping until reaching the designated depth. Left-handed thread.

PeckR

Lift Z up a fixed distance after every step of tapping until reaching the designated depth. Right-handed thread.
