Hi,
Planning to use my drill press to tap in stainless 316 (1/2" BSP).
Bought machine second hand, can't find a user manual online.
It's got a switch that indicates that it can be used for power tapping.
What's the general way forward, low speed and manual feed or use set feed and end stops?
All tips would be most appreciated. The machine has got some weight and power in it, so not keen on just "trying stuff". The way I see it, this machine has the most potential to harm us,
