Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re Taps and Tapping

And whilst on the subject of tapping tips - When tapping small blind holes,
pop a "sausage" of Plastacine (modeling clay in the USA??) in to the hole. It
helps to both lubricate and clear the chips as the tap goes in.
Learnt this one from an old model maker.
