Sure. I cut threads two ways. I can thread mill large ones with a
single-row
thread mill, using helical interpolation.

I can also drive taps with a "CNC" tapping head. I use the Procunier
15000 series. This does require you to have fairly accurate and stable
spindle speed, but it doesn't require a spindle encoder.

EMC does not generate G-code, it reads it.

i have a fairly specific one designed for use with the Servo-to-Go card.
See the first schematic at http://pico-systems.com/EMC.html
this not only does the Estop fucntion, but also will cause an E-stop if
the watchdog timer on the STG card decides that EMC is no longer
updating the servo DACs.

There are those of us who agree with you!
