machines cant rigid tap, that I am aware of. We just use a G1. With a floating head make sure you use a feed rate a couple thousanths slower than the lead of your tap. and when you reverse your chuck to retract use a feedrate a couple thousanths faster than you lead. Also remember that if you want to achieve a thread 1/2" deep you may need to make your tap feed just a little less than that so that when the turret stops moving and the chuck comes to a stop it wont go to deep
