With the adjustable clutch built into the tap holders, the FlexArm has the ability to easily tap blind holes. In collaboration with CNC Cookbook, we will be using the GH-24 to tap 1/2-13 and 3/4-10 into mild steel. On the A-32, we will be tapping 1/4-20 into stainless steel, 3/8-16 into mild steel, and 1/2-13 into aluminum.
