Thank you . I know titanium work hardens. I have many broken taps to prove so. I actually looked into annealing but it’s a ridiculously complex process. I got a carbalt graver with my classic. I’ll try that. Carbide is definitely hard enough. , but from working with different tooling it can be chippy when it comes to titanium. Thanks again!
What kind of oil do you suggest. Reason for asking is I have Molly d and tap magic. I use both when drilling and tapping . Titanium is hard but when I drill it’s like sticky or gummy for lack of better word. What you say makes perfect sense. Also you your the second person about dubbing tip. Does that mean sharp but rounded slightly?
Wintergreen oil is a common oil that is preferred by many because it doesn't tend to stink up the shop like some cutting oils will do. It is instructive and interesting to Google its medicinal and toxicity properties.
