Very interesting. I've only done manual tapping. Do I understand correctly that the tapping head not only reverses but has a clutch that will slip before the tap breaks? Do you need special taps?

Thanks for sharing! You mentioned you're not a huge fan of CNC machining, it's great to see how you do things manually that I look at and think "oh, that's a CNC job."

I love the Procunier tap heads. Interestingly I have the same table on my drill press, although my T-slots go towards the center from the 4 corners. I would love to have the table that have T-slots that go vertically. I also have a TAPMATIC for my drill press too. Don't like that one as much.

Great demo , Well you have NASA'S interest at 900 Bucks. To me though when somebody machines something very well,then It is a true work of art.
