BREAK

Thx for the tips!

/rampage mode on

After the lunch BREAK I decided to buy better taps. Maybe the best I can found in my town. I'll take a BREAK of drilling and cutting till tomorrow, so after the BREAK of dawn I'll be back in bussiness. I'll BREAK open a new bag of espresso coffee, and after a morning grumpiness gives me a BREAK, I'll try again. But not sooner. Don't wanna to BREAK something more.

/rampage mode off

Yeah, copper is very grabby, and funny thing, I broke both of the taps trying to slowly back the tapper. For the hole 10 mm deep, I managed to take it out fully and clean it twice, and on the third time it broke. I'll try with WD 40 next time. It could be that when I tried harder to back it, I put more pressure on the side, so the tap broke, but I really tried to keep it straight all the time. Dunno... One experience more I guess. It can always serve as a negative example.

Think that I'll saw off that piece of copper to 50 x 50 mm size, and use it anyway. At least in another block.

Thx guys!

Off to ATM and into the shop.
