This delightful item is a
Chinese made 6-32 tap. This is after I tapped one hole in aluminum. I really
couldn’t tell the difference in the feel, so I suspect that this is one that
they didn’t harden at all. The hole was only 1/2 inch or so deep, so that’s
not the real problem.

This lovely item is a 1/4 inch
TiN drill. I noticed that it was not cutting at all well, so I thought it
needed sharpening. Now I’m using a drill doctor to sharpen, and the problem
is not in the machine, either the first or second sharpening. Look at how
rough it is from the sharpening operation itself. I guess the steel they
used is just not high quality. Oddly enough, the other drills in the set
are, so far, acceptable.
