So how high did you space the plate above the deck to be sure you wouldnt end up bottoming your tap out on the bench surface? That would be my biggest fear! Also I like the YG taps as well, a mechanical engineer mate put me on to them a few years ago, cheap as chips on ali express.
It was via AliExpress, just waited till there was one with shipping that wasn’t more than the arm. Now waiting to hear back on what they will do about the minor shipping damage
YG are excellent machining tools.
Nice addition to the shop.
Thanks for sharing
I’ve been very happy with the taps and will likely look to see what else they make in that department…
..That looks to be a Good piece of equipment Doc. That's better than eye ballin for vertical...!
Yep that was my main reason, tried tapping in the mill too cramped and broke some taps as a result sooo here we are

Pair of 1/2” parallels as packing was going to use some 123 blocks but this seemed easier from a fiction pov.
Great video can I ask where you got the tapping arm from? :)

How about a link to the tapping arm?
I will once I’m satisfied with their response to the shipping damage. Not going to recommend a supplier with poor customer service…
