Good idea on using a chuck. Didn't occur to me that a bit of slippage would help save a tap.
Hi DIYer. When the tap jams the chuck wont hold the shaft anymore. :O)

Interesting idea. I've experienced this before in my DP. Drill bits slipping in chucks when I applied too much pressure on the workpiece. Never realized that this could be used to save taps.
