A controller controls a machine tool, which performs thread cutting for a workpiece, according to a machining program. The controller analyzes operating conditions of a cutting-up/cutting-in motion commanded in the machining program and inserts a cutting-up/cutting-in motion created based on the analyzed operating conditions into the thread cutting. In the insertion of the cutting-up/cutting-in motion into the thread cutting, a cycle including a cutting-in operation, a cutting-up operation for separating chips by raising the cutting tool for cutting in the radial direction of the workpiece, and an operation to cause the cutting tool to approach a start position of an immediately preceding cutting-up operation so as not to interfere with the workpiece is repeatedly performed.

Tap guide assembly devices, systems, and methods are disclosed herein. A tap guide assembly can have a body assembly, a tension pin assembly, a tension spring, and a setscrew. The body assembly can have an elongate body and a drill bushing. The drill bushing can have a diameter that is less than the diameter of the elongate body and can be positioned within a portion of the elongate body. The tension pin assembly can have a pin and a collar and can be configured to be received within the body assembly. The tension spring can be positioned proximate to the collar. The setscrew can be securely positioned proximate to the tension spring and within the second opening of the elongate body.
