I can see that single point threading with a normal EMC lathe setup is doable. But what about rigid tapping? It seems to me, tapping would require being able to stop the spindle at a precise location. Can this be done with: - A VFD or mechanical braking? - Use a servo or stepper for the spindle? - Forget the spindle and use a threading attachment? - Use some sort of live tool? Has anyone used a VFD with EMC yet? I just put one on my manual lathe and I am having troubles with starting at low speeds. Will low speed torque always be an issue with VFD's?
