533 forum posts | Guys, Listen to Roderick, he's the only one who has given the correct advice so far. Most thread tables give tapping drill sizes which are too small; this dramatically increases the risk of tap breakage, especially if they are not perfectly sharp. This is the worst for ISO metric threads (where the fact that the taps are bigger than nominal size is an added factor) but this is true to some extent for all sizes. Buy the book he recommends, it'll be worth it, it's only about 5 quid! David |
