thank guys. That's a lot to take in.
My mill is a PM 940 V. It has an R8 spindle.
I looked for R8 collets for tap holding but didn't see any.
I did try tightening using all 3 holes and even used a cheater pipe on my chuck wrench. No good.
These are blind holes and I fill them up with Tap Magic cutting fluid.
The fact that my drill bit slips too makes me think , maybe I need to try a different chuck?
I liked the tap holders in the picture that had the nubs for putting in a chuck.
They would keep it straight but I don't think the nub would hold the torque. It gave me an idea though.
Maybe I could modify one and make that part longer?
