Yeah, but I suspect he was pointing me towards a hand tapping
machine/fixture. Basically looks like a c-clamp on a pedestal. Hmmm.... I
think I just figured out how to make one.

You might make mine. Take a T handle tap wrench and remove the cross
bar. Find a 3/8 socket that just quite won't fit on the top of the tap
wrench and press it on. IIRC, it was 12MM on mine. Then use a speed
wrench for your new tap handle. This lets you hold the tap from moving
side to side way out and the speed wrench lets you go back and forth
really fast. I must have done 50 6-32s just this week in AL.

I use the speed wrench tap handle for nearly all my hand tapping.
