Overshoot caused by inertia of the motor and other rotating parts. Without a brake that *stops right now* one must account for the tap to keep turning a bit after the spindle is commanded to stop. If the mechanical and electrical can withstand it, the motor can be reversed at just the right time to reduce and control overshoot. The tap will still continue going in a bit before electricity overcomes mechanical inertia to reverse.

Sorry, may be too new to this or just not getting your use case, but I don't understand why properly measured/probed tools end with excalibured taps 🤔 _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
