Tapping
I'm wanting to start making folders, liner and slip joint, but am curious what's the best way to tap the handles, liners, frames? I see various tools & tool holders on the market, can anyone share their expertise on this with me?? Thanks, Dan.

For all of my 2 -56 taps and 0 -80 I use a 12v hand drill. It works great tapping in stainless and titanium. I have only broke 2-3 taps in the last couple of years.
Make sure you use one that is low torque and runit very slow, Percy |

Whatever method you use, always use spiral point taps.

You're welcome Dan.
Spiral point, not spiral flute. |

Tap question, I've seen "H1" & "H2" taps in online catalogs from major companies, which style is used for knifemaking?? Anyone who can advise I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks, Dan
