Sorry, sent too soon.
Yes, that is overkill. Jjust make a hole that is sized just larger than the
tap. I have a block that I have used for years with a hole sized to the
following taps: 4-40, 6-32, 8-32, 10-32. I just recently make a similar block
using 1X1 square steel tubing for the helicoil job I just did.
BTW, using these blocks sure reduces tap breakage.
