    "Now, you do need to turn off the DP motor prior to reversing but that is not all that much trouble considering how much labor
    I saved by not having to hand tap 72 holes."

    The one I have, you hold either the top or bottom half of the housing to drive or reverse the rotation.
    Just leave the drill press running forward.
    5/8 of slop seems excessive, but you want some float in the spindle to self align the tap to the hole.
