<If Jim reads this, he can hopefully chime in with a lot of useful information. I have not used this tool yet, but am lusting to get it soon. Geez...I think Dels' press fit is worth a try. Will's referring to the inclosed pics of a tapping machine(well, actually I'm the machine and the tool is the ...uh..tool). The tool comes with a useless collet system, so I had Ron N turn me a collet that was specific to the the S&S rail prethreading this tool is used for. The wood screw of choice is soldered to a 3/8 fine thread shank that is screwed into the "collet". It could be rigged up to pre-thread capstans and maybe screw them in, but heck if Del's press fit works I think it might be a better solution for this particular application.
