Shop accessories

Got a Gear Drive tap wrench for christmas. It's sweeeeeeet! I do allot of 1'sey 2'seys when tapping. Setting up the tap in the CNC is a pain, risky in titanium & have to be bottomed out anyway. Hand tapping with this puppy is the cats meow. I usually use a spring loaded scribber in the spindle to keep a standard tap handle square when starting. (thats what the center hole on the end is for) I made an accessory for the Gear Wrench- same principle only with an outer dia to align on the taper of the gear drive holder.

Now for the killer. Every time I go to the Bridgeport, I gotta hand crank the bitch all the way up or down, never fails. I found an old spline drive laying around from a Z power feed conversion. Thats the key is finding one, I would not want to make puppy. I have seen alot of broken handles around. Usually brazed back together. Turned a holder for it with 3 flats for my 1/2" Miketa. About an hour job. ARM: now happy :-):-):-):-):-):-):-)

Maybe there's a market to make these?$$$$$ Not many B-ports with power feed? I'm not be the 1st guy to think of this.( saw another guy that made one - locked up in his box)

Ok enough shop talk, back to politics!
