I have not tried it with real material, yet, but will do so as soon
as practicable. I am not expecting too many surprises, especially
with a floating tap holder.

What type of floating tap holder? Also, I presume it only offers
linear float and not radial.

I've yet to play with the linear float ER-style collets that go into
standard spindles... But they sell like hotcakes. (How do hotcakes
sell anyhow? That's like the old saying "dead nuts" which has no real
historical reference...)


What I've always wanted to know is just HOW happy ARE clams? And how can
you tell?


Every one of them is happy now. After all, CLAMS GOT LEGS!
