Tapping The Backing Plate

This is fairly straight forward but remember to tap this totally vertical. Avoid over tapping or multiple tries or passes. Each pass will remove more material, once in, once out..

To ensure your tap starts vertical, you can put it in your drill press chuck and turn the chuck slowly by hand. Once there are a few threads cut, you can transfer the tap to a regular hand-held tap wrench.
