The few times I use an internal tap to thread work in the chuck, I generally mount the tap in the tailstock and let the tap pull itself (and the loose tailstock) into the work.
It works OK for me, and I'd never considered any other way.
Then recently I saw a video where a guy had the tap mounted in the toolpost and appeared to be driving it into the work - ie. set the change gears for the thread pitch to match the tap entry speed.
Anyone else do this?
