I'm assuming you mean the type of tap that you might possibly purchase at a typical hardware store maybe??
Thanks, Gary in N.Y.
P.S. It all boils down to the "H-limits" of each individual tap. Conventional hardware store taps are generally the H-3 series! For tighter threads you would use an H-1 or maybe an H-2? It all depends, the taps come as high as H-5's, maybe more, not 100% sure!

According to the Grainger catalog, they list taps with a H12 rating. Talk about sloppy!
Does anyone know where to get a 7/16-14 H1 rated tap? A quick Google search did not find any places that sell them. Now I want one.
