I put the code in there to do it, but it is NOT tested.  Try it at your own risk.  Maybe with something soft to start with.  Smiley

I like to rigid tap AIR.
It is very forgiving to tooling.

We never have the time or money to do it right the first time, but we somehow manage to do it twice and then spend the money to get it right.

Oh, the rigid tapping has to work with a spindle that has an encoder.  Do not attempt with just a VFD spindle.  Shards of carbon steel will be flying.  The spindle is electronically geared to the Z movement, so the setup needs to be tight.  But I would think that of any rigid tapping environment.
