I'd like to automate that, but changing the tap in the machine would require an index consistent from tap to tap. Something we could maybe insert into the tool table if each tap had a truly unique serial number. Not practical with current tap making tech. And no room in the tool table for the new data. So hand finishing is likely the best option at the present time. Thanks Andy. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
