Just watched a haas video re rigid tapping- and how to make it faster.
Very nice easy to add feature of faster retract speed
Feature request :-)

Interesting, think it will be a quick feature no one else in the hobby / DIY CNC market has

Nice.

Form taps are your friend for aluminum and softer metals.

Do form taps not require a lot more torque to use

Not that I notice. You use a larger hole size. The taps for me last a long time and the threads are beautiful and stronger in aluminum.

These weren't out when I went to school!
And my main work is wood- so I hadn't come across them.
I've just ordered 2 to try.
It will be interesting to see if my 1kw spindle is man enough for m6 and m8 in aluminium

I tried mine a bit faster last night.
Only 2nd ever try at machine tapping - but I was happy
And my punter for the machine can't wait to have it :-)
