+===== Roll Form Thread Repair =====
+Roll Form Taps- used to pressure form threads in softer material like aluminum. \\
+Roll form taps are used to "restore" damaged threads. \\
+They work well because they will actually push the metal back to shape as opposed to cutting it away. \\
+**Word of caution**: they use a lot of force and are way easier to break so don't get to western with them. \\
+Use plenty of oil and steady pressure. \\
+Turn in 2 or 3 turns, back off 1 or 2 turns to allow the pressure to come off and if you are using a cut tap the cut material needs to come out. \\
+Another word of caution, when you buy cheap taps and dies, sometimes you get what you pay for. ((corkman8086 from the XLFORUM http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=739536&highlight=chasing+threads))
