I'm back to practicing drilling and thread milling M6 in 1/2 aluminum plate on Friday. My shop bult gantry mill/router has its swarf containment system in place at last.

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.
