Hi to All,
I just wanted to start this topic as the one for the "tapping cast iron" is somewhat off the topic now. I would personally be very interested in any expereince that other members have with different types of taps for different materials. Recently I have been using a combination of Red and Yellow ring taps with great success for Aluminium and steel even though I think they are meant as machine taps as against hand tapping that I preffer.
Below is a link to my supplier.
