This video is showing how to tap threads with a drill press using a shop made tap handle.

Always be careful and use the proper safety equipment when woodworking.

Thanks for watching.

Great job, I never thought to do that, will try this tomorrow. And I like that with the drill press keeps the tap straight for you. So much easier. Thanks

Thnx. Working on the same project right now. I want to make the hole tomorrow, so I see your movie just in time.

Works great, just used this way to tap a half inch hole, thanks for making and posting the video, it got me out of a funk. Tomorrow I have to make about a hundred more.

Eliminates the wobble by hand. Nice idea.

'Like' for the drill chuck handle. I was doing by hand this morning; luckily it was shallow holes for set screws.

Will this work also in plasma cut holes? Plasma cut surfaces are even more hardened and brittle.

IS IT my computer or is the audio bad?

Kinda funny to me when you mention all the fluids one can use to lubricate the tap, didn’t mention actual THREAD CUTTING OIL 🤣

New trick I'll remember that . Initially thought you were going to power tap it. Lol. Yes stainless it a bitch to tap

I skipped the part where you said not to keep applying pressure and bore a bigger hole ☹ great tip though!
