Had a project, put it off. Only cost me 100 in broken taps, now I’m good.

Spot the hole. Drill with cobalt, 45 sfm, .003 chip load. Peck depth 90% of drill diameter, full retract .

Form tap starting around 15 sfm. Coolant ok, put some Blazer Blaso-TAP on the tap.

Yes it works, even for 6-32 šŸ™‚
