I use a Tapmatic power tapper most of the time. I found this unit a while back on the net so decided to give it a shot.

Bill, I admire the time you have to "give things a shot" it prolly woulda taken me three days to make that, even with a spec. drawing.
I too have a power tapper, It's an Autal I have used it often on jobs that require lots of tapping.
Normally I do this whenever I feel I need a bit more "guidance than hand tapping.
   

I'm not bad mouthing your device, just a little jealous that I don't have time to explore things like it.
