1. Select the appropriate tapping tool for the size and material of the blind hole. Make sure the tap is sharp and in good condition.
2. Secure the workpiece in a vise or clamp to prevent movement during the tapping process.
3. Use a center punch to mark the center of the hole to ensure the tap starts in the correct position.
4. Apply cutting fluid to the tap to reduce friction and heat buildup during the tapping process.
5. Insert the tap into the hole and align it perpendicular to the surface of the workpiece.
6. Slowly turn the tap clockwise while applying downward pressure to start cutting threads into the hole. Make sure to keep the tap straight to avoid damaging the threads.
7. Continue turning the tap clockwise, periodically backing it out to remove chips and debris from the hole.
8. Use a tap wrench to turn the tap if necessary, ensuring a secure grip on the tool.
9. Once the tap reaches the desired depth, carefully remove it from the hole, being careful not to damage the newly cut threads.
10. Clean the hole and inspect the threads for any defects or damage. If necessary, use a thread chaser or thread repair tool to clean up the threads.
11. Your blind hole is now tapped and ready for use.

Materials:
- Tap
- Tap wrench or machine
- Cutting fluid
- Blind hole
- Chuck key
- Cleaning brush
Procedure:
1. Prepare the hole:
- Ensure the blind hole is clean and free of burrs.
- Use a drill bit with a diameter slightly smaller than the root diameter of the tap to create the pilot hole.
2. Select the tap:
- Choose a tap with the correct thread size and type for the blind hole.
- For blind holes, a bottoming tap is typically used to create full threads to the bottom of the hole.
3. Apply cutting fluid:
- Apply cutting fluid to the tap to reduce friction and improve tap life.
4. Insert the tap into the hole:
- Secure the tap in the tap wrench or machine.
- Align the tap with the blind hole and carefully insert it.
5. Tap the hole:
- Turn the tap wrench or machine clockwise to start tapping the hole.
- Apply downward pressure on the wrench to ensure the tap cuts properly.
6. Reverse tap periodically:
- To avoid breaking the tap, reverse it periodically to break up the chips and allow them to clear.
7. Check the depth of the threads:
- Use a depth gauge or measure the length of the tap exposed to determine if the threads have reached the desired depth.
8. Fully tap the hole:
- Continue tapping until the threads are fully formed to the bottom of the blind hole.
9. Remove the tap:
- Once the tapping is complete, reverse the tap and remove it from the hole.
10. Inspect the threads:
- Inspect the threads to ensure they are clean, sharp, and free of any defects.
11. Clean the hole:
- Use a cleaning brush or compressed air to remove any chips or debris from the blind hole.
