I think that S40 is too slow for the machine. You can tap at up to 4000rpm, so try kicking it up to 400 and see what happens. We regularly tap at 2000 - 3000 rpm (was doing 2-56 at 3000 today) without any problems.

Agreed. I think 50 or 80 is the min rpm for the machine (I have one)

I have also tapped 10-32 at 3000 and 4000 rpm in aluminum. No problems.

Yep, minimum spindle rpm is too slow.
And what material are you tapping where you need to go that slow with a 1/4-20 tap?
