I've been doing some rigid tapping lately and the lack of a reversing switch on the Deckel is a little annoying. I've been feeding in with the quill, stopping the spindle and turning the tap out with a handle.
The manual says not to run the table feeds with the spindle reversed. Does that mean that other than that, reversing the spindle is fine? Anyone added a reverse switch to their FP1? Sure would be convenient.
I'd actually like to be using my Tapmatic but with this silly universal table stealing 3.5" of my Z travel that isn't going to happen.
