Chasing Tayda Powedercoated Screw Holes

[Spiff4565]

It seems with each Tayda powdercoated enclosure there is one hole that is gummed up with excess powerdercoating.

The thread pitch on these holes is M3 x .75. Naturally that is the ONE tap I am missing, but I suspect not having the one tool you need is a universal struggle.

Hope this is helpful!

This might not be the best practice, but I use a drill on the high torque setting to slowly, carefully drive the screws into the holes. I've done this for maybe 20 boxes without any problems. Just make sure you use a perfectly fitting bit and apply a decent amount of pressure so it doesn't slip and grind out the head.
