As you can all see, I'm making a tool plate to help hold parts while CNC milling. I drilled a 1" grid of holes that need to be tapped 1/4"-20. All 58 of them. I did two by hand and decided I need to power tap. Can a PM25 mill do power tapping? I know there are tapping heads, but they are $$$ and take a lot of vertical space.
Can I chuck the tap in the keyless chuck? Should I get a spiral tap? All I have now is a 4-flute straight tap.
