[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 1086250, member: 25383"] the issue may come from the type of tapping fluid your using. If it's something like Tapmatic, Tapfree, and a few other similar compounds; try something else. I like Anchor Lube for hand tapping stainless steel. There are better compounds yet, but most are home brew. Forget strait oil altogether. Breaking taps are often caused by chip build up in the flutes. I hope your not using a three or four flute tap! Use a two flute gun tap whenever possible. gary [/QUOTE]
