Yes it is possible. You will need to use PostBuilder to customize the Tap Cycle command.

In Post Builder you can customize the Tapping cycle output.
From the general parameters activate the customize option for the tapping cycle. Then edit the tapping cycle and add the S word and the M29

In my post i have defined the Spindle speed and Spindle rotation in the Operation start sequence of Initial Move.
In the Tap Cycle How to skip the Usual output of Spindle speed and the rotation ?

Thank you in advance.
