To tap a blind hole, first ensure the hole is clean and free of debris. Use a tap wrench to insert the tap into the hole, applying cutting fluid to reduce friction and heat. Turn the tap clockwise, applying steady pressure until you reach the desired depth, then reverse to break the chip. Ensure to back off periodically to clear the chips and maintain a smooth cutting action.

When tapping a blind hole, the order of taps typically starts with a taper tap, which helps to lead the thread into the hole smoothly. Next, a second tap, usually a plug tap, can be used to further create the thread depth. Finally, if a finer finish or tighter tolerance is required, a bottoming tap can be used to clean out the bottom of the hole. This sequence ensures proper thread formation and reduces the risk of damaging the workpiece.
For a 9mm hole, you can use a tap set that corresponds to the M9 x 1.0 metric thread size. This tap set typically includes a taper tap for initial threading, a plug tap for deeper threading, and a bottoming tap for creating threads close to the bottom of a blind hole. Ensure the tap set is suitable for the material you are working with, such as steel or aluminum, for optimal results.

It has got to be tapered to get in a fresh hole. Then you can finish it up with a square one to tap out the bottom of the hole.

The hole would have no metal to cut the threads in if the hole were drilled the same diameter as the tap.
It is not a drill bit, it is called a Tap. You drill a hole slightly smaller than the Tap and then screw it into the hole.
acquire correct tap from hardware or automotive supplier. Drill smaller hole through EGR port boss on head. Drill larger hole , size stated on tap to same depth as on intake port. then tap. If metric thread tap cannot be acquired a tapered pipe thread tap will also work. Threads are very close and will seal because of taper.
Yes, you can screw tap into a PVC pipe, but it requires the proper technique and tools. A tap is used to create threads inside a hole, allowing for a screw to be inserted. To do this safely, you should drill a hole into the PVC first, then use a tap to cut threads into the hole. It's important to use a tap specifically designed for plastic to avoid cracking or damaging the pipe.
Pick a tap size slightly larger than the existing hole. Make sure you have a screw that will fit it. Assemble the tap. Lubricate the hole with WD-40, oil, or some other appropriate proprietary formula. Place the tap in the hole and twist clockwise. Keep the tap straight and in line with the hole. Back out every few turns to remove any loose material. Once complete, clean the hole with compressed air or forced water to remove any lubricant and debris.
To rethread a bolt hole, you can use a tap and die set. First, choose the correct size tap for the bolt hole. Then, insert the tap into the hole and turn it clockwise to cut new threads. Be sure to use lubricant to make the process easier. Once the threads are cut, you can test the bolt to ensure it fits properly.
