Re: Using nitric acid to remove broken taps or drills from aluminum, comment to the remark
|
This group has posts about everything related to using a minilathe, not just the mechanics of the lathe itself. And that certainly includes drilling and tapping holes with them.??
And there are two kinds of people in this group -- people who've broken a tap and beginners who haven't done it yet. Which group are you in?

Hi Mike,
May I make a comment please:
The original subject had nothing to do with the 7x12 mini-lathe
group name.
That said, since this off-topic wasn't criticized, I (and others)
felt free to diverge from the original thread.
I'm so sorry as well but, in the future, I strongly suggest that the
threads MUST be in line with the group name and I promise I'll
hardly stick to the rule.
Have a nice day. Regards

I'm sorry to see that in discussions this group doesn't
ever seem to stay on the subject. This thread started with my
posts using nitric acid lto remove taps and drills from
aluminum.
Then it drifted to the related topic of doing
this with EDM machines, then it drifted to drilling and
tapping and now to helicoils, neither of which is related at
all to the subject.
This doesn't really affect my subject.? I wrote
what I wanted to say about nitric acid and there were several
useful responses, so people who want to learn about that can
see it, and people who want to learn about this in the future
will find it.?
But I feel sorry for people interested in EDM,
helicoils, and the other things being discussed. Those are all
now hidden under a subject line saying the discussion is about
acid, so there's not much chance casual readers will notice
them, now or in the future.??
So you're basically writing careful posts about
these things and, in terms of whether future readers will ever
find them, you might as well be flushing them down the toilet.
?So I wish people would have more discipline
about subject lines. To start a new topic, just change the
subject -- by even a single word. That will automatically
start a new thread with a relevant subject. If more people did
that, this group would be more useful.

Helicoils
can let down like heads of engines.?
They do make a insert that is solid like allen set screw
that works better.?

Helicoils are especially made for repairing
threaded holes
