You can also use a guiding block to start your tap. It is basically a flat piece of metal with a clearance hole drilled through it to keep your tap straight when you strat it. After the thread are started, remove the tap and the guiding block. Keep tapping your perfectly straight threads :) never heard of them. i haven't encountered any problems yet with taping, seems the tap goes in straight once it starts to grab. as long as you have the right size pilot hole drilled (and not drilled all wobbly) it should tap straight (or as straight as the hole that is drilled) Chris, _Odyssey Slipways_ (http://hometown.aol.com/odysseyslipways/index.html) -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
