Yesterday I needed to tap a 1/4-28 thread into the end of a shaft. I have never power tapped before because I only have straight flute taps. However, Russ gave me some spiral point taps when I was in the US last, and one of them happened to be 1/4-28.
I followed Ken's process of determining a safe depth and away I went. I cannot see myself buying straight flute taps again. Power tapping is awesome
