my buddy with loads of tapping experience tapped me a *slanted* hole. I kept saying we needed a 'starter' tap, so we could get it in there straight. I said we needed a tap with a long taper on it, but he said no...now I got this "leaning tower of Pisa" tapped hole. which I guess means it *is* possible to tap a hole SLANTED, even when the hole -is- straight (drilled into shaft center with the lathe).
oh well...
Hahaha i love this guy!
