Just two cents here; definitely agree on milling the holes over drilling, spindle torque becomes a problem, e.g. I was not able to drill 1/8" holes in aluminum with the Nomad, probably unsurprisingly, but had zero difficulty spiral milling it.
As far as the thread milling goes, it’s definitely cool to see a threadmilling operation in action and even cooler when it actually makes a threadform you want! In the times I’ve needed threads, I have tapped by hand off the machine. Might be more manual work but it does have some advantages; eliminates(??) programming risk for threadmilling, removes risk of thread mill running out of room at bottom of blind hole due to chip buildup and tapping debate-ably is more likely to make the correct form.
If you are machining a fixture in place however, you might have no choice but to get out the threadmill! Although what you really want to use is a ‘thrill’, a super ill-advised combination drill + threading tool…they actually do exist
