No further comment? maybe some advise on vfd settings?

Kieth,Scott, Well i just tapped some 1/4 -20 in some maple @ 750 .750 deep. so i bumped it up to 1500 rpm and when the tool reached the clearance point the spindle slowed down and it tapped the hole....

so just checking my manual says recommended starting point is a 100 rpm. so thats why it was set their. Of course i never tapped that slow usually about 750. other params changed.

Thanks
Todd
