I need to drill a 24mm diameter by 40 degree tapper plug about 3 inches long. (my lab works and mixes both imperial and metric cause what is convience?)
The first step would be put the plug in a 3 jaw chuck and use the tailstock to drill out a 25/64 whol with the 25/64 drill bit.
the tricky part comes with tapping the hole with a hand tap. Is a hand tap gentle enough for this operation or should I use a form tap?
