    Drilling and tapping resin

    I'm speculating of drilling and tapping one of David's resin fittings kit to accept a set screw, drill and tap the same way as plastic?

    Drill at low speed with water. Tap by hand with water and back off each half-turn to keep the flutes clear of kerf.

      And make sure your tap is sharp and not a relic from 1964.

        Is that an M2 x 2mm stainless set screw?
        What size drill and tap?

          Metric is the Devils tool.

          3/32" drill hole, tapped with a 4-40 thread. Speak Imperial or don't speak at all!
