Which 9mm-1.0 tap for some 304 for a depth of no more than 3/8".
Is a one time deal for a HSS tap going to look as good as a coated tap?
Which leads to another question I hear from supply people. On comparing prices
I am asked "How many time are you going to use it?" When I say only a few times
the answer coming back is "the cheaper tap should do". So it will have a short
life. What about the cuts it would make. Would the first tapped hole be as good
as a coated tap?
Then store in the drawer marked "only used once".

The part is a bushing for the bottom of a paint gun made in Italy.
So I assume all threads are metric. Wrong. The outside of the bushing
has a .500-20 tpi. The inside is 9mm-1.0.
The hole is through a hex piece. The hex piece screws into the paint gun body.
Then a air regulator shaft is screwed into the hex piece, the knob on the bottom
of most paint guns. Anyway, the tapped hole goes halfway down (5/16). If I had a
way to accurately make inside threads in such a small diameter hole.
