Rigid Tapping with a speed controlled spindle was created by tnl.lambert
I'm configuring a 4-axis CNC machine to do rigid tapping.
The spindle has an encoder, and we can command specific positions to achieve a toolchange.
However, a G33.1 command results in a 'missing K-word' error. (input is G33.1 Z-0.25 K0.05)
I've tried slowing the spindle down below 5RPM just in case, and I'm using version 2.6. Any ideas?

Can you provide a bit bigger snippet of the G code, the K word is in what you show but the error always says "near" line so and so.

I think that you need g80 (cancel canned cycle) after the tapping line. Linuxcnc is still in tapping mode
on line n85 and is looking for the k value.
I usually put g80 g90 g0 after each tapped hole to rapid to the next location.

G33.1 is not a canned cycle and does not need a G80, you can verify that by reading the manual or try a second pair of coordinates after the G33.1

Can you attach the G code instead of photo? It's hard to copy and paste a photo.
I don't see anything that jumps out at me but I would like to run it in sim. I assume line one is %. Be aware of the ramifications of wrapping your code in % instead of using a program stop.

The error is highlighted on the G33.1 line directly, and I've attached a picture of the g-code segment.

I just tried my machine (linuxcnc 2.5.3 ) and It seems like I always get a "k word missing " error if the next line
after g33.1 does not have a g80.
Edit - a g1 or a go in the next line, before movement, also seems to correct the problem.

Here is my ngcgui rigid tapping subroutine that I use daily on 2.5 on my CHNC.

#<thread> = #2 (TPI/Pitch)

#<T_Depth> = #4 (End of Thread)
#<RPM> = #5 (Spindle RPM)
#<ToolNumber> = #6 (Tool Number)
#<Coolant> = #7 (=8 Coolant 8 On 9 Off)
G7 G17 G20 G40 G80
T#<ToolNumber> M6 G43
o110 if [#<thread-type> EQ 0]
#<pitch> = [1 / #<thread>]

And here is a G code file that I run regularly on my 2.6 mill... and you can see that G33.1 is called for every hole and is not a canned cycle.

Ok, so there is no major reason in the g-code that would cause the error? Maybe this is sliding towards an advanced configuration post, but I'll provide a theory of mine - I use a custom orient code that uses a separate PID loop. It is connected to motion.spindle-index-enable, so the PID loops change over when M19 is called. Will that be an issue?
