Will you make a little housing for a pot and a FWD-OFF-REV switch?

I doubt it, the front panel controls seem fine. Easy to enter the
frequency you want or use the up/down arrows to adjust it.

You may wish to reconsider not remoting a stop/forward/rev switch the
first time you try to tap something.........

I'll trust power tapping... once I find a nice used CNC with RT
option... until then I hand tap.


Its your machine, use or not use it as you choose.

Gunner, who power taps regularly with his Gorton MasterMill and a VFD


Do you use a tapping head or what? How do you hold taps?

I generally use the same drill chuck I drilled the hole with.
If Im going to tap more than 10 holes, I might install one of my Versa
Taps in the big drill press (also with a pendant and a VFD btw)
