I have a these - Mine are the original Walton.? I talked to them a while back and the company that sold them the unhardened tap handle (so the could drill the holes in the sides) stopped selling them.
Lo and Behold, knock offs start showing up on ebay.? Viper had a tutorial on using it on his Youtube page that seems to be gone now.
On the mill or drill press I use a Tapmatic tapping head

FYI Power tapping is different. You have no feel and guy doing tapping does not know anything.
This only by checking the edge of tap.
I can feel the tap head if tap is getting dull but the guy doing most tapping can not. Most of it is? first time tapping.
We did a lot tapping from 1/2NC to 7/8NF on blanks cost from $10.00 to thousands.? You get good at tap removal.? But use on this size I would use fluxcore and remove the tap. This trick will not work on smaller tap sizes
