    Brown and Sharp 2G screw machine ?

    When a lot work a tapping head in drill press. I thinking of buying lead screw tapper fof both taps and dies. I found you could do about 6 tapped parts per minute or 360 parts per hour in drill press. A lead screw tapper is faster. FYI My parts had threads both ends. Dave
