Teach me how to Tap n Die

[juliemac57@hotmail.com (Julie Macfarlane)]

There are two types of taps. One for through metal and one for bolt threads 
likle you need. this is the square bottomed tap.
If the threads are bad, you'll need to match the threads per inch with the 
next size up and use a bolt of that size. If the threads just need cleaning 
then get one to match the bolt size.
Use plenty of machine oil when you turn the tap. Only a 1/4 turn at a time, 
then reverce it out a 1/4 turn to break the shard free. The oil cools as 
well as lubricates so don't be stingy.

Good luck,

Julie
