Welcome to OSG's 60-second troubleshooting video. When choosing a tap for an operation, not all taps work in all materials. If the wrong tap is used, it can be catastrophic to the tap or worse, the part itself. It is important to make sure the tap's geometry is correct for the material choice. One example is aluminum. Aluminum is a soft material. A tap with a negative rake angle will have issues due to its blunt cutting edge made for hardened material. When the correct geometry is used, the tap has no issues with the material and works properly over and over again. Thank you for watching. For more information. please visit www.osgtool.com.
