1988 LB15 5000L-G; Tap it or single point it?

[WGJ]

I have been reading about the woes of trying to tap with an LB15, and I have an order of nuts to make with 16mm course thread ID. I am using good ol' high lead 12L14 hex stock. I need to tool up one way or the other, either by buying an indexable thread point that will reach into a 14mm bore, or buy a floating tap holder. I am curious which way any of you would approach it. Thanks.

If the turret is straight and on center, that thing will tap soft steel all day long. It really depends on how many your going to make, a floating holder that size will be a lot more than a thread boring bar.

450 parts. But I see your logic. There is room for tooling either way. I am just trying to choose the most efficient. Thanks.
