Foo - Bottom tap

Bottom Tap
will explain later

Using one, you can get to within two threads of the bottom of a blind hole.

thanks, bottom tap back at ya

it is all cool as long as we are in Foo uniform, at a game or practice.

A tap on the bottom is fine if you don't include a little "squeeze for goodluck".

...lets you get all of the beer out of the keg.

That's when your sweetie walks by in a swim suit, and you can't resist the urge to touch the goods!:D

I don't need no swimsuit to make my wanna touch!!!!!!:D

It's also when you come off a cliff on skies or board, land into the powder below, touch with the bum and keep going down the slope.

Don't you need a sprial flute to clear the chips on a bottom tap. Seems like the straight flutes on a standard tap would clog and break pretty easy doing it that way?

we use whatever we have

Is that when you accidentaly drill a hole all the way through a board with a counter sink bit?

Hmmm, looking at Mrs. Mariner Fan. :)

Mrs. Mariner Fan looking at me.....:rolleyes:

No shame in grinding down taps :). I met a guy who grinds broken HSS drill bits/end mill shanks into lathe bits.
As far as spiral taps go, it's nice. But most bottoming taps I've seen are straight flute. They make the flutes deep enough to allow room for chips. Adequate coolant flow will help also. Forming taps is where it's at :D
