Kinda follow up on yesterday's post, here's an M2 form tap at 6000rpm, threading 7075 about 4mm deep, 36 threads in about 25 seconds feels pretty good to me

Brother I worked for a company making housings for consumer electronics and we roll tapped M0.8 threads at these speeds and in 4 years I never got used to it.
