There must be a reason the designer used 1/4"-40 thread. I don't have the drawing set, but I believe it had the directions for both the Screw and tap.
I didn't take it personal, Ed. Just saying my friend is trying to build to plan. I usually modify plans or designs myself to conform to tools and materials I have.
I guess, to be honest, I made the tap to see if I could! I'm getting confident enough to build most anything. You'll see in my posts here and on other forums, I ask questions when I am not sure about a method or technique, but temper any response based on my experience. I really hate being told I can't do something, or you can't get there from here!
That's why I love these forums. I have learned so much from them. The difficult takes me a while, the impossible takes a little longer. I like that! I'm going to add it to my signature!
Wehuuu, time for my pills again...
