Help Cutting a flute on a tap
#4
Using a ball end mill will result in a much stronger tap. Sharp, inside corners create stress concentrations (stress risers) when the hardened tap flexes and if it's going to fail, that will be the spot. This applies to any hardened part, not just taps. Inside corners should always have as large a radii as possible.
