Well when I came to this shop they use a m129 for tapping not really I'm not to sure never did much tapping before and now I need to tap a left hand and not sure if I would just program with a M4 insted of a M3 or some thing else.
When I looked in the fanuc book It looked like you use M29 so I don't know what to think
machine is a KIA 21 with a fanuc with an oi-tb
Nay help would be great

M-code usually controls a machine feature ( coolant, tailstock etc.)

The M29 may control the syncronising of the axes to the spindle ( couldn't find anything on M129 )
post example
and another
