It is a very cheep Drill Chuck, It was all I could afford at the time. I’m gonna start watching the local auctions in my area as soon as I come up with some money for tooling. But I should be able to get some something at least decent. Thanks Earle C
I'm not sure if that is a keyed type chuck or key-less chuck your using, but if it's a keyless you don't tap with them. They are only self tightening in one direction, when you reverse rotation they will tend to open up. You tap with a key type chuck. Personally I don't power tap, I leave that to the more experienced guys. I think you learn more with hand tapping, there is a definite "feel" to it, especially when you get into the smaller sizes.
