Tapping is performed by rotating the spindle clockwise. When the bottom
of the hole has been reached, the spindle is rotated in the reverse direction
for retraction. This operation creates threads.
Feedrate overrides are ignored during tapping. A feed hold does not stop
the machine until the return operation is completed.
