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.  :)

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

 ;D ;D ;D

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.
