Not a bug but a feature, as they say

This is how I solved the power tapping problem on the cheap. I got a tap wrench that had a socket on top for 3/8 drive. I milled a piece of 1/2 shaft at one end for 3/8 drive. When power tapping and I get to the end of the thread I just pull back the spindle and the drive instantly disengages as the 3/8
drive connection is severed. Let the motor stop, re-engage the 3/8 drive and hit reverse

I use this same method when using the lathe tail stock. Should work even better on the mill, thanks for the reminder.
