Look at the MPMASTER or IKE posts from this website. Everything you need is already in them.

I'm with Ron on this. You must add logic in several places to support Rigid Tapping with M29.

You must "suppress" the Spindle Speed and Spindle On M-Code, from the Tool Change and Start-of-File blocks.

With MPMaster or IKE Posts, you simply change a variable "Switch" in the Post to enable Rigid Tapping, and the output will change just by changing that one switch.
