Yes, all that is not necessary if the hole is drilled out and you are using some cutting fluid.

The 6 point socket was slipping around the corners of the tap, a 12 point will hold like my wrench is doing. Just need a little more leverage and that was it.


and now She is tapped and all I need now is that squirter kit from John V whenever he finally answers my pm
 
Well... it is a tapered tap... how far you run the tap in will depend on the fitting you're using. Have you tried installing the fitting yet? If you spin the tap in too far, the threads will end up too large for the hole.

Ive run the tap about half way and this is the first time ive had this issue before. But all is well now
 
News flash Not. I found out what the problem was. When I drilled the final size out with my step bit I seemed to get it off track a little and it didnt quite follow the line so there was a slight notch sticking out now allowing the tap to continue. Took the dremel out and fixed that.

So now I wonder how the other tap broke when it wasnt even touching that notch..
