I only advanced a quarter turn at a time, backed out every full turn, and cleaned out chips with a q tip dipped in mineral spirits. Everything went according to plan.
The taps are very nice. It's excellent and precise. I bought the two-pack because I was worried I would break one while cutting threads in 1/4" aircraft aluminum. After twenty holes, the last one was just as easy to cut as the first! I'm very pleased with my purchase. You'll have no problems if you take your time and work them back and forth to keep the cuttings clear.
In this size, it's desperately needed, and it's perfect for the job.
I'm not sure if it was me or the tap quality that caused them to break, but they worked fine until they broke. Also, I'm not sure if it was the tap or the screws I bought, but the fit was shoddy. The next time I go shopping, I'll try a different brand because you get what you pay for. If you only have a few holes in soft material, two taps should suffice; I had 24 holes and the two taps only got me halfway.
Good taps at a good price; however, because this is a small tap, it must be used with caution. I was able to reach the required depth.
I needed to tap out a CZ 97 for a Picatinny rail, so I ordered this. Stainless steel is used to construct the weapon. It was excellent at what it did!.
They don't clear chips well, so go slow, lubricate, and back up the tap a few times after going forward; aside from that, and the small square shank, they're fine.
It's been used with aluminum before - There are none.
