====Tapping stations==== * Tapping stations are worktables with a tapping head attached to the end of a [[pantograph]]-style arm similar to that of a [[balanced-arm lamp]]. The operator guides the tapping head to each (already-drilled) hole and quickly taps it. * ''Drilling and tapping centers'', whose name sounds similar to that of tapping stations, are actually light-duty, affordable [[Milling machine#Computer numerical control|machining center]]s of 2, 2.5, or 3 axes that are designed for a life of mainly drilling and tapping with limited milling use. Double-lead taps and insert taps need different speeds and feeds, and different starting hole diameters than other taps.
