	*This is basically a big, solid tap wrench held rigidly perpendicular to the bed. The taps are held by a set screw in "adapters" which are in turn snapped into "masters" that fit into the bottom of the column. Tap the hole by aligning the tap with the hole and turning the handwheel. Allow the tap to pull the column down, as you would with an ordinary tap wrench. Observe the same procedure as with a standard tap wrench, drilling the proper size hole for the tap, reversing the tap periodically to clear the chips, and so on.		*This is basically a big, solid tap wrench held rigidly perpendicular to the bed. The taps are held by a set screw in "adapters" which are in turn snapped into "masters" that fit into the bottom of the column. The adapters have been broached to have a square area to accept the square end of a tap, when inserting a tap into the adapter make sure it seats in the square area. Tap the hole by aligning the tap with the hole and turning the handwheel. Allow the tap to pull the column down, as you would with an ordinary tap wrench. Observe the same procedure as with a standard tap wrench, drilling the proper size hole for the tap, reversing the tap periodically to clear the chips, and so on.

			The cabinet has the adapters arranged with the corresponding taps for the smaller sizes (<1/2"). It is also stocked with tapered and bottoming taps for the smaller sizes.

	The column height above the bed can be adjusted by loosening the set screw in the knurled collar on the column with a 9/32" hex wrench and sliding the column up to the desired height while holding the collar in place. Tighten the set screw when the desired height is achieved.

	*There is a 'fence' along the table that can stabilize long pieces, but you are better off grabbing one of the drill press vises for small parts.		*There is a 'fence' along the table that can stabilize long pieces, but you are better off grabbing one of the drill press vises for small parts.

	Clean any gunk off the adapters and the masters before assembly. The tolerances are necessarily tight, and a little grit can hang them up. A little oil and a paper towel seems to work well.		*Clean any gunk off the adapters and the masters before assembly. The tolerances are necessarily tight, and a little grit can hang them up.
