Also, spiral fluted taps are the most fragile taps there are. If you have a deep hole (enough for the chips to pack into) a spiral point would be stronger. If your tapping softer metals, a forming tap would be the strongest.

Prolly a forming tap also. What material are you trying to tap?

Pretty cool. You know your an addict when you take your webcam apart to CNC something on it.

Very nice. Thank you for sharing with us!

New machine? Maybe a laser etching machine in the future. I do think that would be a profitable investment. Gotta get a good reliable anodizing setup first though. To many "wants"  and not enough cash to go round. I think everybody here can relate to that.

Ever since I seen the covers Dan made, I had wanted some. So I had a bit of extra time on my hands a few months ago, and got started on a set of three. They still need some components to make them complete. They might get done this year, or they may not. Heck, they may never get done. If I purchase that Seiki I have my eye on, these would be null and void real quick. That's not very likely though. 5K+ just to rig and move the dinosaur. I guess my home-made machine will have to do a bit longer. It's been a real workhorse for the past year, so I can't really complain.
