Greetings all; I bought, from a British vendor, a set of small internal and external single tooth tapping tools. The tooth on each looks as if it would be well buried cutting a 16 to 18 tpi thread to something resembling full depth. The internal bar has flats on 3 sides so it cannot be rotated in a std QC holder, but the cutting chip itself is mounted, and the end of the tool matches it, such that it is tipped down in front toward thge x axis, guessing 5 to 8 degrees. So I am wondering if the cutting tip needs to be adjusted a few thou above or below the centerline. My gut thought is to jack it up a few thou until the cutting edge itself is on the centerline as this will give additional clearance under the cutting edge in a smallish hole.
Other ideas? Thanks guys, I'll go set it that way & waste a chip I guess. But I'll also check back in occasionally for advice. Thanks all.
