I'm looking at a Chassis Maker II CNC turret punch press. I don't have any experience with punch presses and I'm wondering if someone can tell me how they tap holes and if this machine could.

Also, if you happen to own a cnc punch press in the southern Calfiornia area I am looking to have some pieces made.

Thanks
 
IIRC tapping was all done from inside the unit that dropped in the punch holder. There was nothing extrnal to the machine for the rotation, it all worked on the compression stroke of the punch. The ones i was around also auto oiled the tap from a internal reservoir of lube that you had to top up once in a while. Have not been around that stuff for 15+ years so i may be off a bit.
