I'm looking for tooling & technique suggestions for making female NPT threads. Sometimes in a one-off part on the mill, sometimes in the field. In mild steel, aluminum and polypropylene. 1/8-2" NPT.
I'm thinking taps but don't know anything on what kinds work best vs. cost. Do I need taper reamers to get these to work right?
Are you all using reamers? What's your process?
