Gunsmithing tip: We prefer high carbon steel taps for gunsmithing. Be careful of using HSS (high speed steel) taps when tapping blind holes. If a HSS tap breaks, it must be "burned" out using an EDM tap burner, a costly process! If broken, Track's high carbon steel taps can be fractured and picked out using a drift punch.
