Well, I used a rigid tap holder and it tapped fine for me. My machine stops with the .2 on anything. It has the rigid tap option for sure, but I was told the .2 was the speed selection, and my machine does not have automatic speed selection.. it is remove the Z cover and move the belts with your hands on mine.
