In Short Rigid Tapping is mainly used for Blind Hole Tapping.
To add to the Helical Interpolation Off Thread Topic LOL I have always had a hard time rapping my brain around this one.
It was questioned earlier in this thread, "What If you were to hit the Feed Hold during Helical Thread Milling???" I assume that the Thread would be damaged a little, but not too much. I have never done any Thread Milling and have to ask, "What would really Happen if you did hit the Feed Hold during Helical Interpolation ". Has anyone here done this before??? If so, what were the results?
