Tapmatic power tapper for 10 bucks. Not quite but close.

Jim, I believe you have the PushPull tapper. Made by Supreme and works in a similar fashion to my Supreme Versamatic Reversible Screw Driver. Many similar functions but the PushPull is the preferred model for use on a drill press. I have seen some on line and they run about $120. The one I have requires the motor to be stopped and the spindle rotated and pushed up to reverse it. So it is a bit more work using it than if you had the PushPull one. You have the good one for the drill press,mine is ok but requires more work to use. I may still buy one of the PushPull type since it is Superior.

Cheers, JR
