[Vwdiesel] What a LDA...Aneroids!

[James Hansen]

Thanks.
I have too, German (Walter brand) taps are pretty good too, and are locally
stocked, rather than the no name brands that most places stock.  I have used
them with their own Walter brand solid stick cutting lubricant- comes in a
tube of semi solid looks like a grease tube, you dunk the tap in it to fill
the flutes, and just power tap like there was no tomorrow.  1/4" tap on the
end of my cordless drill, at full snort into 3/8" plate cutting 70% depth
threads like I was tapping butter. Just beautiful.  Half a hundred holes,
and not one broken tap. Kinda gives the machinist in me goosebumps.
