Errrr, vertical hold is slipping now. AIUI, you're putting the tap hat
into an R8 collet, so the grubscrews can't be longer than the wall of
the tap hat. Mebbe that just means you're going for a significantly
bigger collet to give room for the longer grubscrews. I think I have
picture lock again. I'll have to do that too when I get the bigger sizes
done.

Sounds like Entropy is the feller who'll bring it down. (Doesn't charge
much, but leaves ya with the clean-up.) Seems like you're out of range
when it happens. That's kinda handy.
