==Instructions==
*This basically a big, solid tap wrench rigidly held perpendicular to the bed. The taps are held by a set screw in "adapters" which are in turn snapped into "masters" that fit into the bottom of the column. Tap the hole by aligning the tap with the hole and turning the handwheel. Allow the tap to pull the column down, as you would with an ordinary tap wrench. Observe the same procedure as with a standard tap wrench, drilling the proper size hole for the tap, reversing the tap periodically to clear the chips, and so on.

The column height above the bed can be adjusted by loosening the set screw in the knurled collar on the column with a 9/32" hex wrench and sliding the column up to the desired height while holding the collar in place. Tighten the set screw when the desired height is achieved.
