Tapping into the Technique How to Tap Cast Steel

[Elisabeth]

Thanks a lot for the insights! I've found that tapping cast steel can be challenging due to its hardness and tendency to work-harden in the course of machining. One technique that can help is to pre-drill the hole slightly greater than the desired thread dimension to reduce reducing forces and facilitate chip evacuation. In addition, utilizing a correct cutting fluid or tapping lubricator can help reduce friction and heat buildup throughout the tapping procedure, resulting in enhanced item life and thread quality. Get you experimented with diverse cutting fluids or lubricants for tapping cast steel?
