Just as a follow up to both of your posts, for some of the guys out there learning this as all new. I tend to use the 2 flute spiral point taps to get the majority of the material out, then if necessary, use the bottoming tap to get right to the bottom. One word of caution, use a tender touch when getting close to the bottom of the hole, if you 'bottom' the tap out against the blind end of the hole, it makes it very easy to break the tap when you go to back it out. Don't use an overly huge amount of force, take your time, and you will get the threaded hole you need.
