Default RE: How to tap metal

Try using the same size drill inthe original hole, but run it in reverse[backwards] turn drill very slow with moderate infeed.This will sometimes back the broken piece out[sometimes not]. Kerosene has been the reccommended cutting fluid for aluminum.Sharp drills perform with fewer problems.
