If you have a drill press, you can start the thread going by putting the tap in the chuck and position it centered over the hole, then MANUALY rotate the tap into the hole (taking the drive belts off makes this easier) this ensures that the tap starts perfectly perpendicular, then when you have a couple of threads cut you can take it out and continue with a normal tap handle.
very usefull for the larger hose barb threaded holes.(especially since my good tap is a blind hole one)
