But that s/b bypassable for rigid tapping as it will increase the following error. Put it in front of the PID. I use it there to profile the spindle turnaround rates to something the Z can follow w/o throwing a Z following error. Its more complex than that in the hal file, but thats the general idea. And I've not had good results while driving a vfd. Needs more thought there but a 40 lb chuck's inertia overrules most of my efforts. The PMDC motors respond much better to that sort of control massaging. Faster is the keyword I think. My thinking was that of a sine-squared control waveform with the peak accel at zero speed, therefore matching a steppers ability to keep up better. Idea was stolen from one of the old analog tv VITS. That kit of signals allowed one to accurately tune a tv transmitter for optimum bandwidth while the girls were watching Days of our lives. Or whatever.
