I will give you a warning about the Procunier tapping heads: Unlike most other tapping heads, the Procunier cannot tolerate ANY over-feed on the way down. This means you MUST KNOW your actual spindle RPM when tapping, or intentionally under-feed to ensure you NEVER exceed 100% feed. If you do over-feed, you WILL break the tap, if not the Procunier itself.
