I picked it up off eBay. Just a Chinese tool holder.

Try using a spiral flute taps for power tapping, they seem to work well at least for me. And the tap looked like it was wobbling in the chuck. Nice job on the fly cutter , your next one try angling the cutter slot it'll relieve some of the cutter angle in contact with the work. Fun to experiment with different shapes of fly cutters .

Your correct about the wobble or maybe a slight misalignment in the tap. I regretted not using my hand tapping machine.

On the relief. The tool I used is a facing tool using the opposite corners of the CNMG 432. These tools have relief built in both directions. This is why I chose it for the tool.
