Right, if you donīt have diamond tipped tools, donīt even
try. All youīll do is kill your tools. Tapping a tungsten rod
(even with a diamond covered tap) will result in about 50%
failure, because the tungsten is da**ed hard. Also expect
to forfeit a couple of these taps (=>$$$). Best to make
a work-around solution.
