    From Tormach? You'd have to upgrade it to the BT-30 spindle and associated MX parts.

    You would need an Encoder on the spindle and a control that can control the the Zaxis and spindle speed at the same time

    What has to happen for Rigid Tapping is the spindle speed and Z axis has to be synchronized, so it is control mostly with Spindle Encoder feed back
