I am using a Greenfield die and cut them all in one shot (no back tracking) I haven't tryed Tap Magic, I really hate the smell!!, but I will try it, I have some in the shop. Thanks for the suggestion, very much appreciated!
I have been cutting the threades with a die. The threads I am cutting are from 1.5" to 2" long 10-32s. If I try single pointing them I get too much deflaction..
I have been having a problem with 10-32 thread tearing while cutting 303 ro 304 Stainless steel. I have been using a mineral oil based cuttting fluid and cutting wax. I have vary steel all over the place without good results
