The N-CT tap, had chipped flutes at ⑧ 8 holes. Compared to the N-CT, the UH-CT was able to process 60 holes in ultra high hardness steel. It is the machine when machining tests are conducted up important to watch for a dull drill as it will cause the taps flutes to wear prematurely. The drilling is to 60 holes with UH - CT tap. The numerical value processed at a 6m/min. cutting speed and a 0.04mm/rev. feed which can easily cause work hardening. of the load meter tends to increase as the number of tapped holes increase at 50 completed threads. The cutting edge damage at this point causes the load *Bored hole in this test was prepared by using a carbide drill under such condition as could cause no meter to raise quickly beyond 50 tapped holes. As work-hardening. (cutting speed: 6m/min, feed 0.04m/rev.) the number of tapped holes progresses further, the Thread Mills Premium Thread Mills risk of tap breakage is considerable and the load will ⑨ increase, so it is recommended to set the life expectancy at a safe level considering the high hardness of the steel being processed.
