Excessive cutting in radial direction causes oversized internal threads. Since tapping proceeds along bored hole, Excessive cutting in radial direction causes oversized internal threads. Since tapping proceeds along bored hole, Distance of Distance of in the depth of hole, oversize cutting is minimized, that is, oversize cutting in the beginning of the hole and in the depth of hole, oversize cutting is minimized, that is, oversize cutting in the beginning of the hole and excess feedingexcess feeding normal cutting in the depth of the hole.normal cutting in the depth of the hole.
