In my case the tap broke on the fifth hole. I was just thinking to myself that this is a cheap tap and I need to get a better set (these were the Pittsburgh brand from HF that I got probably 30 years ago and was a tiny m3). Of course it snapped just as I was finishing the thought. I have not had many occasions over the years to drill and tap such a tiny hole and it happened. I am hoping that I will actually be able to use a lathe (my back) and get to learn a lot of this stuff. Remember not everyone has been doing this for years and years and some are trying to do it with physical limitations. I used to do carpentry work but can't cut a straight line anymore. We adapt.? A metal lathe is something i have always been fascinated with and hopefully be able to use and have some fun with.
