Whilst searching for [and failing to find] anything of a quality comparable to J&S that I mentioned in my first post; I happened across this delightful little "sensitive drilling table" … What a brilliant idea !!

Expensive as a hobby tool, but yes, very neat.
We have a small 'tapping drill' type stand at work that has the same action as that for the table, and a double cone drive for the chuck. It releases the drive as the table rises and the tap meets a set depth then drives the opposite way to screw the tap back out of the new thread as the table is lowered.
