I had an Atlas similarly set up that I got for $175. I restored it and got all the imperial and metric collets. It was a great set-up. The only problem was, after 3 years of ownership, I never used it. Unless someone has a specific regular use such a set-up, it's a waste of shop space. Hell, I don't even use the Tapmatic for my mill. I can hand tap 4 holes faster thank can set it up.

I was thinking to remove the tapping head and sell it. Then buy a Jacobs chuck for it and you’re off to the races. I also don’t have the room for a dedicated tapping station....or any need either.
