Toolmaker51, I had a chuckle at "Breaking taps in machine frames is NOT how you win popularity contests." At one job I used to arrive and one of the day shift blokes would skive off to the showers. I used to hope the burning sensation in his ears kept him awake at night as at least once a week my day was buggered fixing his stuff-ups, stripped threads and broken bolts were one thing but taps were a real pain, always in the worst most inaccessible place plus I had to get my personal stuff out to clean up afterwards. Same bloke was the one who liked to "do a bolt up tight then give it a little tweak until I feel it give".
