Any suggestions on tapping 13-8 H1000 regarding speeds, type of tap, peck tapping, run it with coolant or tap fluid, etc.? I’m planning on tapping a 1/4-28 3B STI using the live tooling on a turret lathe to put It in. It’s at the bottom of a .400 dia x 1.00 dp counterbore on centerline so trying to single point it is tough to do unless I get a special tool made but I’m trying to stick with standard tooling. The thread itself is only .500 long so it’s not a super deep thread.
 
Thanks, I’d like to threadmill it but I don’t think IGF supports it. I’m currently looking into if it’s possible or not. It’s for prototype parts so I’m trying to get a fool-proof process down so if I do end up getting them again I should just be able to load and go.
