Anyone use a floating tap holder for 4-40 in 6061?
I frequently tap 4-40 holes in 6061 and am exploring the possibility of using a floating tap holder in our ycm-60. Usually I just use an enco auto reversing tap head in a manual mill, but I have around 200 holes to tap and am wondering if using a floating holder would be a better setup. I am having trouble finding a really good tap holder that will work in Aluminum. I have purchased some spiral flute taps and hope that I can make a go at this project with some efficiency. Does anyone have any experience with floating holders, or with tapping this small on a machine?
Thank you.
