There are a couple of things it could be. Some posts have a switch in the top called "rigid_tap", set this to 0 to disable rigid tapping (which is the M29 output). Other posts use a drill parameter in mastercam to indicate floating or rigid, in which case you would need to look at the parameter label to determine the setting. I believe it is typically 0 for floating, 1 for rigid.

 

If you are still having issues shoot me a PM with the post and I'll clear it up for you.
