Are the full threads relieved? No relief would explanine your symptoms.

That is the answer. Why would you use it. It is not as accurate and adds nothing. If you want to use one of the very expensive side floating tap holders from Yukiwa where it helps to find the center of a cast hole, that is one thing but the floating up and down is just adding slop.
But it would in no way hurt the machine - correct?
The only reason that I can think that a MTB would say "not" to use something is b/c it would hurt the machine, and otherwise leave the tooling choices up to us as situations are not all the same and rules are made to be broken.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to warm up my vocal chords and make a phone call.
As long as we know the cause of the mushroom cloud over Chicago
A year! ???
It's been THAT long since this thread was up?
I wonder if higher SFM is playing a roll in the prefered sharpness of the tool?

I don't have a pony in this show... but are you using the same tap maker or a new one?
BTW, I have fixed many tooling issues with India and Arkansas stones and a microscope.
Are you stoning the cutting edge sharp or putting a 45-degree bevel on it? If a bevel how big?
Microscopes will open a whole new world of tool inspection, that can't be overstated. And a USB eyepiece camera is well worth the $$.
I guess I too question how you "stone" a tap?
If I was to attempt to dull down the entry ona tap - my "go to" method would be a wire wheel.

I'd be using one of these: XEBEC Ceramic Stone™ | XEBEC(R) Deburring Technologies
2-3 weeks for shipping? What is this the 90's?!
Get them (polishing stones) from McMaster, it is just to dull an edge a bit, no need for anything "fancy".
