Could you give a little more feedback on your Grizzly tapper. The price is sure good. Always wanted one but not bad enough to justify the normal cost.

It works great, is it a smooth as a Tapmatic or the Jet JDP 20EVS-230drill press with the built in tapping head, I have in the shop, no, but for the price its a bargain. Its solid and well made and functions as required. I use it when I have to tap holes 3/8" and below (in the smaller DPs), I use the Jet for the bigger taps.

Slump? I think it's just the slippery part of the downhill slope Rotfl
Maybe if someone could find me new castings for my broken shaper?

Great design. If you don't mind I will have to make one like this.
