I've successfully used metric (M4) spiral point YG-1 taps from Amazon.ca. -----Original Message----- From: John Dammeyer <[email protected]> Sent: July 7, 2021 8:52 PM To: 'Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC)' <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Emc-users] Power Tapping
Well in that case it's cheaper than the Swiss one. What I have found so far is that the cheap metric tap+die+handle was fine for the occasional hole but really garbage for anything else. I'm definitely headed in the direction that the quality of the threaded hole is directly due to the quality of the tap (or die). I've ordered one of each of 10-24, 1/4-20 and 3/8-16. Need to find some reasonable metric ones yet too. Give the last few days anguishing over HAL file parameters and Break Out Board issues the experiment this afternoon watching the tap thread was quite a treat.
