Possibly illuminate the tap with a flashlight to eliminate perceived strobe effects from fluorescent lights. You could even put a screw of the right thread in the spindle. If the thread appears to be motionless during the spindle synch part, then the Z movement is matching the thread pitch pretty well. I did this a few times before risking an expensive tap to be sure the thing was really working correctly.
