tips on modifying a tap for mill
Tim Wescott fired this volley in
:
You beat me to it. With nearly 3/4 of an inch of hole to play with,
you
should be able to make a nice stout boring bar and use an insert for
the
sharp part.
Yeah... I'm going to have to run the trig on the point. Obviously, since
it's cutting a little on the lagging bottom shoulder and a little on the
leading top shoulder, then unlike a regular 60-degree point, it's going
to have to be a smaller angle.
And that may very well be why my tap isn't giving a decent cut, yet.
