You can make a tapping hear from an old drill that has a clutch chuck in it. Remove the motor then strip the armature from the shaft. Keep the part where you can screw on the handle or if it has a loop style handle then use that to keep it from spinning when you chuck up on the armature shaft. It works best if the drill has a mechanical reverse in it or if the drill press/milling machine reverses then use that. If neither then you have to manually remove the tap.
Wonderful job . If your tapping or cutting cast iron I reckoned paraffin as a coolant . Good for keeping it cool. It's what used to be used in our workshop back in the day.
