Does the tap have a drill size recommendation on it? Also, what brand is the tap?
if the tap has a drill size on it, then it is without question a piece of shit. (Hobbyist Harry time)
So you're really saying you can't chase a hole without fucking it up? Time to maybe look for a new line of work.
Balax makes a 1/4-28 STI roll tap in GH2. A form tap would be less likely to oversize chasing your thread.
I am surprised the guy chasing the thread didn't ball the first thread to make it gauge ok.
Also, the No-Go gage CAN! enter the hole all the way, but it must have a noticeable drag!
In the case of the No-Go thread gage, the most common misconception is that it should not enter or travel over the thread feature at all. In other words, it should “Not Go” at all. This is one of the largest areas of debate between machinists and quality inspectors.
According to the national thread standards, the no go can be allowed up to but not exceeding three full threads for standard gages or two full threads for metric thread gages prior to feeling a definite drag. In theory, you could travel the length of the thread with a metric No-Go thread gage providing you feel a drag after the second full turn.
