A floating tap holder does the same thing. The machine is controlling the Z-axis rigidly, but the tap holder has a float that allows the tap to be pulled in or out at a feed rate that is proportional to the spindle speed and pitch. It allows the tap to move axially independent of the machine's axis.Jan 1, 2016

What is a tap holder?
Definition of tap holder : a device (as a chuck or grip) for holding or floating a tap (as in a screw machine or turret lathe) when tapping holes.
What is Synchro tapping?
With "Fully synchronous" (or "Rigid feed" , "Synchro feed") machinery, a rigid tapping cycle synchronizes the machine spindle rotation and feed to match one thread pitch in terms of a single start thread in tapping. This is an ideal tapping method by which you may not encounter any problems during the process.

What is peck tapping?
This is a tapping operation that does not use a tapping head but a tap that is held in a standard tool holder. This canned cycle can also be used for peck tapping where we cut a portion of the thread, then reverse the spindle to relieve swarf from the tap and then return to machine more of the thread.
What is CNC tapping?
One of the most common methods of tapping in use today on CNC machines is 'rigid tapping' or 'synchronous feed tapping. ' A rigid tapping cycle synchronizes the machine spindle rotation and feed to match a specific thread pitch.Jul 15, 2003
