WHY IS TAPPING IN A SMALL, HOME SHOP, CNC MACHINE OFF TOPIC ????
It will die a death anyway.
If it wasn't for this thread there wouldn't be anything else to read
on this list.
If any one want to repy to this please mention that you drew the tap
in CAD, worked the tool path out in CAM, was going to EDM it but the
DRO was bust. That way it WILL be on topic.
Thanks for reading.
