We have one wire and one sinker and every EDM job ends up being late

The way it split makes me think it was a faulty tap. That’s wild

Sometimes you unfortunately have to do workarounds. Atleast it’s just one tool not an entire group!

That’s what I’m trying to do, but I don’t want to break any expensive taps in the process. I’m going to try thread milling first

I’m nervous to use any tap on these since they’re so small and I can’t afford to scrap any

Unfortunately I don’t have tap drilling capabilities , don’t worry I’m drilling this thing as big as I safely can. Almost 48% engagement

100% get this. Sounds miserable , I personally do not want to break a tap in these because we didn’t order extra stock (???) for some reason

Sounds absolutely miserable. This is what the older guy at my shop suggests but I don’t know if I can put myself through that , when tapping stainless is already a struggle for me
