Nicely done. Did you do that on a lathe, a drill press, or are you just really comfortable with a cordless drill?

What size drill/ tap? I ended up snapping the tap in the bolt….. weird -was oiling too….

Is part of the tap still in the hole? Are you sure you drilled the correct sized hole for the tap size? Unless you have a power tapping head to put in a drill press I would only do this by hand as well.
