[QUOTE="harry gilbert, post: 9988500, member: 4763"] Technique is also important, whether cutting new threads or chasing existing ones. After starting the tap or die, only advance about 1/4 to 1/2 turn, then back out 1 turn to let any chips fall free. Otherwise, the build-up of chips tear the existing metal and distort the threads. Don't just crank the tooling all the way down in one pass. Use thread cutting lube, not just any oil. I have a can of 1940-era sulfur-based lube; smells bad but works great. [/QUOTE]
