On my 1st cup of coffee... I was not sure If this belonged here as there is an awesome Metal working thread.... or Gunsmithing or????

If you use a Tap from time to time... I found this interesting

I am always amazed at what random, useful, interesting stuff I learn here on the Hide. Thanks for posting. The Hide's "weaponized autism" is impressive. I seriously doubt there is a subject that someone here doesn't have knowledge about. Nuke technology, check. French Renaissance Art, check. Music, check. Battle techniques of Peloponnesian Army, check. ITAR regs, check. How to fuck a pigeon to death, check. It just goes on and on.

Thank you. Now I know that I need a spiral flute tap to put my egt probe in the manifold.

That's what I used, also helps if the engine is running to blow out any chips.

The Hide isn't weaponized autism. Just gun geeks with some machinists thrown in.

Weaponized autism is kids at a computer in their parent's basement changing the world.

That video editor needs to designate the difference between the taper tap and the bottoming tap. (Straight flutes) As they had labeled them opposite. (4:39)

Otherwise, great video.
