Tap is difficult to turn or binds
Back the tap out frequently to clear chips. Ensure the pilot hole was drilled correctly and is straight. Use adequate lubrication.

Verify that the correct tap was used for the insert size. Ensure the tapped hole is clean and free of debris. Check for any burrs left by the tap.
