Hi, im wondering if interrupt thread pipe taps are going to be easyer to use? Im planing to buy some 3/8 and 1/2" NPT taps, mainly for taping in aluminum and UHMW plastic and other soft materials.. maybe with a very low desire to one day tap in mild steel. Right now taping just a 1/4" NPT hole in aluminum sorta stresses my tap wrench and arms.. im wondering if a interrupted thread pipe tap (shown here: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA280_.jpg ) will be easyer to tap with since it has less teeth cutting at once? Or am I just being dilusional?
Should I just buy a bigger tap wrench (or make one) and buy normal pipe taps? the interrupted thread ones are a little more expensive.. not much however.
