Yes, emc 2.1 has G33 "spindle-synchronized motion" and G76 "canned threading cycle". emc 2.2 will have g33.1 "rigid tapping" as well, if your spindle can stop and reverse under computer control. These all require a spindle encoder with index pulse. Preferably a few hundred encoder counts per spindle revolution. For encoder speeds up to 20kHz or so, you can rely on software counting of the encoder.
