Hi All,
I am planning to acquire some thread forming taps to give them a try. They seem to have a good reputation here on the board.
But looking over the available taps got me thinking. So, since I am talking about using them in my Tormach with a Procunier tapping head, is there a reason not to buy bottoming taps? I'm thinking that we have good control of the tap for starting the thread so no need for the "taper" function of a plug tap, and the bottoming tap would yield slightly deeper threads on a hole that was not a thru hole.
Is this logic flawed? Advice would be appreciated.
Terry
