Actually not true. The spindle must stop but only for an instant. There is no reason it could not stop for at the bottom of the rigid tapping routine and wait for the spindle to reverse. You could then in theory use a regular spindle drive (fwd/rev/off) for rigid tapping. using a brake or hitting reverse to stop. The stop spindle pin makes this easier :) > however the goal should be to not hard code the behavior into > EMC's main code.
