Anyone out there have any experience in machining (tapping) extremely small holes 00-96, 0-80 in "W" material.. non magnetic alloy?  I know I wish it was CuW too! Thanks

Thread mill them. Emuge has an awsome tool. Lasts forever.

RE: Tapping 0-80 blind holes in Tungsten alloy

We do lots of this kind of thing.  Sadly I'm in design and it's done by a vendor so I don't know details.

I do know they have a pig of a time doing them to any depth.

I think our vendor is 'Next Intent' if that's any help.

KENAT, probably the least qualified checker you'll ever meet...
