    Why not use a bottom tap? Why ruin a plug tap?

    We never got much done on the days we knew they were coming either... :goingcrazy::goingcrazy:

    To tell the truth I didn't get much done save for coping with the emergency of the day --
    -- generally brought on by the actions of others... :frusty::annoyed:

    Ah. I'm so used to selling multiples of all 3 taps to customers, it surprises me when machine shops don't have every size in each chamfer type.

    Not many do understand that. And after I posted that remark I think it could be closer to 90% of the battle is in set up.
