[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 1086445, member: 25383"] just a side note to your post: a gun tap has the lead ground slightly different to make the chip string go back towards the handle. Hardly noticeable, but must work. I do recommend as you do, the use of a tap block to guide the tap strait. I've drilled and tapped #8-40 threads in just about everything from 1020CRS to 17ph4. For me anyway, CRS was the worst to deal with along with certain grades of aluminum. Not hard, but just very gummy materials. gary [/QUOTE]
