The requirements for rigid tapping are less stringent than for PID spindle
speed control. My 50-tooth one was entirely adequate for gear-hobbing.

Another option would be to use a single index from the spindle and use the
motor encoder for the A and B phases.
Though you will need a hardware counter for that many PPR. You can change
the scale on-the-fly in HAL when you change gear.
