Nothing much to see but I have heard at times where people say they would rarely have a use for power down feed. I guess it depends on what needs to be made. Just wanted to show how simple the power down feed makes drilling when you have to drill a lot of holes.
I have been making a little tool here & there in the past few months. So far I've drilled & tapped well over 400 holes on these things. The power down feed saves a bit of time but the Tapmatic is what was the lifesaver. The first 40 holes I tapped by hand & it sucked!
Sorry for the boring video, my first time I ever made one. This was at the start of drilling & tapping 180 blind holes. With the Tapmatic it took me only a few hours to finish them all where as the time I was tapping 40 blind holes by hand took me almost all day.
