5.2.1 Rigid Tapping (G84)
When the spindle motor is controlled in rigid mode as if it were a
servo motor, a tapping cycle can be sped up.

Explanation
After positioning along the X- and Y-axes, rapid traverse is performed
to point R.
Tapping is performed from point R to point Z. When tapping is
completed, the spindle is stopped and a dwell is performed. The
spindle is then rotated in the reverse direction, the tool is retracted to
point R, then the spindle is stopped. Rapid traverse to initial level is
then performed.
While tapping is being performed, the feedrate override and spindle
override are assumed to be 100%. Feedrate override can be enabled
by setting, however.
