You are welcome to come tap a few holes and see.
Most of the work was in good quality CI, and brass. Did I mention over 300 of those holes were 'blind'.
If you treat your taps well and use plenty of quality tapping fluid

Can only say "Huh?" to that.
Near the end of
Every time I read about a tapping fixture/tool, I appreciate the VFD on my drill press just a little more. To tap I turn the VFD to 5 Hz (30 spindle rpm), chuck up the tap and do it. The foot operated forward/reverse makes backing off (chip breaking) a piece of cake. And I never have to fuss with alignment - the tap is in the same chuck as the drill bit just was. Torque is sensed by hand-holding the vise.
Works for me, Bob
