Thank you. I got it. I made one bit like that in stone age. But much more crude and ad-hoc. I just drilled and reamed hole at the nose of MT3 blanco and plonkked a spring and a centre made out of silver steel. It is rather long to reduce tendency of the centre to fall off. Hmmm.. thinkking of it maybe I should make another centre with a dimple. Pekka |

Mine was even cruder - just a pointed rod in the Bridgeport chuck kept in place by downwards pressure on the quill feed arm, but now I tend to loosely grip in a chuck and start the tap by hand turning. (or power tap if the tap is stout enough) Andrew |

I have a set of tap wrenches made by Eclipse, they grip the tap in a chuck, and have a center hole in the other to locate with a center. Cheers David |

These are mine. I made the top two, one male one female as some small Taps have a point on the end. I bought the one at the bottom but had to remake the internals as it was such a poor fit! I think I made it reversible, one end male, one female. |
