Re: Fast spiral tap speeds
Thanks. After I did the tap the old way, I did some trial runs on some scrap tubing. Key thing is to be able to have slow speed for the tap and being able to reverse. Since the drill press I have had slow speeds I was able to get it down to the suggested 30 RPM.
On the plus side, they are much easier to use as a hand tap since the initial bit helps keep the tap straight in the hole.
