Tapping

That's the single reason some of my customers don't allow form taps. Lockheed Martin, for example, puts a note on their prints specifying "Do not use roll taps". It's irrelivent if done correctly, and gives stronger threads. But you know engine ears.

BTW, I've got a tap drill calculator that computes roll taps by thread engagement or hole size. Let me know if interested.

I posted this application in the Downloads section. It's free. Help yourself.

Thanks, I'm going to download it and try it out. Sounds like it would be handy.

Rekd,
Downloaded it and it looks SUPER, will save me a lot of time "looking for" my tap chart(s)!

Have it on my desktop so I can get to it quick.

Thanks for your efforts.

I made a click on your link but I get this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get_lang() in /home/cnczone/public_html/modules/Downloads/viewfile.php on line 70

Is it available?

Thanks
