Re: Rigid Tapping in 2006 VM2 Issues
Not sure what synchronization method your machine uses, mine had the belt and sprockets with an encoder. I was breaking some small taps and getting some bad threads and found the pulleys were badly worn and were actually skipping teeth when reversing while retracting.
Go to the top of you machine and remove your filter and look to see if you have the belt encoder. If you do, they could be worn.

P.S.: I tap everything up to 1/2" at 1000 rpm.
