Hey all, I had success with the help from you guys last time, so I'm hoping I can get some knowledge on this as well. I am tapping with some M2 x 0.4 taps and they keep breaking I can get one hole tapped, and then the next one snaps on me. I have the holes pre drilled thru, and it is the correct dimension hole for this size tap. I'm only running this cycle at 350 RPMs and a feed rate of 5.511 IPM with rigid tapping. I created a new tool in MC with the IPT, diameter, etc. of the tool properties. Any idea why they keep breaking on me? Is it poor chip removal and they keep binding? Thanks
