This is a great tap for my CNC machine. With the right layout settings, it took me almost no sanding to cut out these Christmas ornaments I made. I cut 60 of these and the bit worked just as well on the last one as it did on the first. This was amazing because they were carved from mahogany and took about 20 hours to carve. If you look closely at the picture, this piece was able to add scarf detail to the snowman, which is impressive as the decoration is only 3 1/2 inches tall.
