The special feature of this tapping stand is that it feeds the tap automatically at the pitch of the thread being made. This therefore, avoids the need to use a taper tap and a good thread is achieved from the first turn, especially beneficial when tapping holes in thin components.
The auto feed mechanism can also be used when tapping on the lathe.
