Default Tapping 6-32 in aluminum

"Lloyd E. Sponenburgh" lloydspinsidemindspring.com fired this volley
in . 4.170:

The called-out tap drill is #36 (0.1065), meaning about 16-thou of
thread engagement, when done right.


ps... that's all at the 'imaginary' fit of 100% threadform. It's less in
practice.
