Hi all,
Recently, I've wanted to invest in some better taps and with that of course comes the first triple start.
I want to get an M13x0.8 as I'll probably use that size most. Now turner's workshop offers a bottoming tap and Beaufort ink offers a plug tap as a set, with a separate bottoming tap as well
I usually use both of these, as the bottoming gives you the best result of course, is this necessary though? I have a holder for in my lathe so I can definitely keep it centre. Would only having a bottoming tap be bad and would you recommend getting just the set from turner's workshop, or the plug set from Beaufort and that bottoming later.
Thanks in advance,
Teun
