Get yourself two sets of taps for powertapping. One set for blind holes, spiral fluted (all cutting action happening in the first 2-3 threads), and one set for through holes (all cutting action happening in the first 4-5 threads), like the yellow TiN coated one in the background, those have a diagonal cut at the tip, that's where all the cutting action happens, those diagonal cuts push the chip out the front. It's not about the coating, it's about the diagonal cut at the tip. If you ever need to do much tapping in aluminium there are special taps that look like they have lost several teeth in the back of the tap, that's to reduce the amount of tap rubbing against aluminium as taps for powertapping don't use those teeth to cut anyway. If you ever go beyond 10 tapped holes per minute you should start reading literature about tapping, some strange physics is going to happen where an increase in speed can double the lifetime of a tap.
BRO THIS THING IS GOLD !!!! I HAVE ONE AND HAVE A BUNCH OF HOLES TO DRILL AND TAP. I USED A PUNCH AND THEN USED THIS TO TAP THE HOLE. COST 2K ON AMAZON AND I COMPLETED 8500 1/2 HOLES IN 3/4 MILD STEEL PLATE.
From factory the torque collets need to be adjusted!! Adjust to lowest possible setting without slip Also, set the torque in the display to lower than factory default. It's too high. I've used mine for thousands of holes. It's fantastic Also, throw that hand tap away. Get spiral flute. The ones that push chip upwards for button holes. And the other that push chips downward for through holes. Else, see some of my tapping videos 😊 Best regards
Small can or pop bottle with the top cut off an acid brush and no more squeeze can for your tap magic. Taping oil. The little fruit cups and jello cups are great for cutting oils, and the Lays potato chip tube lids fit right on them, i use then for wood glue But they would work in a machine shop too as long as they don't get hit with red hot chips. Its thin plastic its gonna melt and burn.
My answer to a co-worker when asked if I had a good day. "Yes, I let the machines do the work." When you don't have a production run's worth of holes to tap this looks like a good way to go.
It looks like an awesome tap machine that can be set and forgot while you set up the next Item you need to work on. A production line specialized drill and tap machine.
Not sure if you are aware or not but you can also buy from the manufacturer a dill chuck set up to use on that machine, I emailed them and they got me set up so you can drill too.
My man.. yes these tools are great, really. We have one too and I love it. But please look into buying machine taps. They are way tougher, but a bit more expensive. They come in two basic styles, which differ in chip evacuation. The stiffer type pushes the chips through the hole, out the opposite site of the through hole, or deeper into the hole. The other pushes the chip out of the one opening of the blind hole. They tend to break easier in my opinion. The nice thing with machine taps: you don't have to peck. One and done, in and out. With this tool and proper machine taps you can have a 1/2" hole tapped in under 10 seconds. And btw, your machine is rated for 1 1/2" taps if I saw that right.
Buy spiral flute taps they're designed to just be driven straight through, we got one arm like it at my work except it runs on air and the taps just power through 1.5 inches of 317L stainless we do use cutting grease for anything 1/4 size and up. (Very, very hard stainless) Straight fluted taps should only be used by hand not anything with a powerfeed, with the exception of smaller holes cause you just can't get spiral taps that size. Never broken a tap on it.
We use one of these to tap laser cut holes straight off the machine. Use it every single day and haven't had issues, been a great tool. We have the bigger version.
What kind of tap are you using for the laser cut holes? Just wondering because they will have lead ins usually that I would think would cause a problem for normal taps
will you open your books, to prove that amount? Also, you already have a clientele. I doubt someone could just but it and make that amount, with in the first year.Wait, you said that CNC was $500 with another K in parts. Man, do you play fast and loose with your measurement numbers as well?
Used one plenty, hated it so much that I learned how to tap with the CNC milling station which was my main responsibility. For emphasis, before hiring me, they had had more experienced machinists from other companies in the supply chain and a CNC teacher from local trade school to try tapping on that CNC and all of them came to the conclusions that it just wasn't going to happen on a machine that cheap 😆
Kinda depends on the project plans Going cnc how many parts, or just one off parts like a prototype If the plans are just on paper, it could cost more in time and labor the just tapping with this tool. If you have 10k parts to run a good cnc operator and tooling use the dam cnc it depends on the job your doing. I worked in a machine shop years ago the cnc back then had tape readers today its CAD programing doesn't take as long. You can make a lot more money with a cnc running 10k parts then stopping to load one part set up time isn't free.
@@bobbg9041 there's also a cost from having your machinist manually tap threads while the next work piece is in the CNC and have him get exhausted towards the end of the workday and quit the company sooner. Counting seconds is not optimization. It's consultants keeping themselves employed 😉 I would know. Used to be a machinist, I'm about to graduate from business administration 😁 To be fair, comparing to the status quo of things you're 100% correct, but that thinking has gotten us to a situation where pretty much every company makes more profit than ever, still believes they're constantly on the verge of bankruptcy, their only solution to it is screwing over their employees and then "no one wants to work anymore".
That was the worst math i have ever heard. I appreciate showing off the machine and thats great, but to say you can make 26500USD with it :))) which is the cost of those 2 entire machines (not just the cost of drilling the holes), thats is just silly math. Good video regardless.
Small Tip: give your viewers the chance to like and subscribe, by adding a pause or an outro at the end of your videos. I tried to like, but the video ended quickly after you finished your demonstration. I really like your style and that you kinda make these, always unreachable CNC stuff seem affordable for people without millions in the bank. I'd like to see more videos about how to get into CNC and how to run new fusion360 projects on older CNC machines and how to update them and so on. Veeeery interesting content! Keep it coming👌💪
@@prestigemanufacturingky Broken screws in a $12,000 marine drive unit. Broken tap to clean it out. Carbide burrs to to remove hardened tap. So much fun. Thank the Father for the maker of Helicoils...
LOL, you called the 1/2 inch bolt a 1/4 20 because you had just did the 1/4 20. I hate it when I do things like that, and I never do it on camera, I am not a YT maker. Lee
I prefer good hold radial drill for drilling and taping with good drill chuck, it’s more faster! But don’t be stupid for using hand tap on machine!!! Pay few bucks more and use « machine tap » I drill and tap 30’s 3/8-16 in 1-1/2in deep in less than 9minutes at 1250 RPM for taping on die set plate. 😉
As a machinist, having tapped thousdands of holes and broke a good few taps. this would be convinient. this is not faster than a cnc. if you have the understanding how to program basic g84 cycles i guarantee that whatever is programmed would be faster.
I agree that CNC machine is faster but if you’re doing short runs I think the setup and programming would take longer than making holes and driving and tapping. Thanks for your comment and support!
my man, we have a tap machine, which easely tap that steel hole in 1 compleet go! You are using cheap or non machine taps. That steel hole should have been tapped highspeed in one go SUPER EASY. Did you drill the hole the correct size?
Hey. Yes the hole is #7 drill bit and the tap that blew apart was a $25 spiral tap but I have since found a cheaper set of spiral taps that works great and does them in one shot. Thanks for the advice and support. I really appreciate it!
@@prestigemanufacturingky no worry's man! i use dormer taps not sure if they sel them where you live but the blue shark taps for stainles they last with my tap machine easly aboven 200holes and thats realy nuts compared to cheap phantom taps for instance. lots of oil and speed keeps them running for ages.
If you can afford a CNC machine that’s a great way to do it for sure but a lot of people don’t have the money or space for a machine like us. I think this is a cheaper good option. Thanks for the support I really appreciate it!
@prestigemanufacturing2611 I was more referencing how you said you used to do it on your cnc mill but this was faster? Iunno, even a small mill would likely be faster if you can get the part in the mill.
Look like a high speed bur grinder. Like can cut holes in bolts taps dies drill bits with diamond or carbide bits? OOOOOOOOOhh a fan-c tap drive, That bee doesn't look torquey enough for taps but thinking my mortar drill motor is smaller it makes sense. SERVO and choose tap speed ect NICE! Looks flim flammy but suitable for this job.
It depends on the job in my opinion. CNC may take longer to set up. Especially if you’re doing a small run it may not be worth it to program the CNC machine to do it and then you have to do your set up. With this machine you lay out your holes, drill them and start tapping immediately. Thanks for the view and support. I really appreciate it!
@@prestigemanufacturingky I get that. CNC's can be a pain to set up, especially for small jobs. I used to work in a machine shop and had to tap these support frames with 20+ holes and using a tap arm like yours was terrible. 8 hours a day standing and taping. Once we got it on a CNC it was load in the frames and hit start and go do something else for 15 mins. Everyone of us would take turns swapping them out. I could see how your tap arm would be great for large taps and precision stuff for sure though...:)
@@prestigemanufacturingky Then use a drill press with a tapmatic tapping head. I thought this tool was a portable 5 axis drilling and tapping machine, that would allow someone to drill a hole at any angle, such as underneath vehicle frames and hard to reach sports, with drill press like force so that the holes can be drilled much quicker than pushing a power drill by hand upside down or similar.
Don't brush off chips with your hands, trust me you'll regret it. Use a paint brush. I dont care how thick you skin is splinter chips hurt like hell and you have to dig them out most the time. I think its worse then red hot balls from welding down your shoe. Or walking by a Bridgeport spraying red hot chips as your taking 100thou layers of metal off. Im not sure about yours but you can drill with some of those too. We had a 3 head drill press With a tap-o-matic i drilled reememed and ran a tap on it each station did a different tool I made millions of these parts like this after the came off of cnc mills.
I Europa we have the Same the we calling it Powerflex and we Drill and make 1000 of Holes treths from M3 do M20 Metric iso Treths in Aluminium its a Asome machine we have 3 of them in the Works Shop nice day
How this shovel made me 5 millions. i started to dig a hole, and then i build a house on top and sold it, so the shovel made me 5 millions? your logic...
i know it was a smartass comment to get your attention, but in all honesty, anything machine related is cool stuff. I watched a couple of your videos before this one. And by all means if you're trying to become a used machinery dealer that used youtube to market (which is how it appears) then kudos, I hope used machinery dealers never cease to exist. And not trying be a dick, but as someone that has bought multiple used machines, you would be better off diving deeper into discussing technical specs and demos rather than going about it from the approach of dumbing things down and claiming "how much money" something cost & much it COULD make someone else. I totally get the youtube algorithm stuff and trying to get peoples attention, but for actual potential machine buyers, I think you'd fare better with the more traditional approach that comes across as more of a seasoned machinist hitting the important qualities/condition of a machine quickly and with no gimmicky thumbnail, rather than the more "influencer" based approach your stuff comes off as. Personally, if I'm buying a used machine, I want the dealer/owner to know as much if not more about it than I do, rather than like they're just trying to sell me something. Like I said, not trying to be a dick, but just provide some feedback to help your future endeavors man. By all means if you could care less about this input, then feel free to delete my comment and stick to your guns. Will remain subscribed either way. @@prestigemanufacturingky
anytime brother, one of these days, not anytime soon though, I will eventually be upgrading from my current cnc knee mill to a proper vmc, there will need to be alot of renovation to expand the shop tho first so I can move my surface grinder to my home shop from where I currently have it at my day job, and would like to get a decent manual lathe before the vmc. Long story short though, I'll add you to the list of used machine dealers I keep up with to see what you've got available when the time comes. @@prestigemanufacturingky
I stopped the video at 0:27 seconds to say I have no idea what this tool is. By the end of this video I will know what it is and how to use it. (hopefully 😂)
Ok so as long as you got money you can spend more money to make more money, so it’s not like you can just by that one machine and make money you need to be doing otherthingsm a little bit of false advertising I beleive, just saying
SPIRAL POINT,SPIRAL POINT SPIRAL POINT.Tthrow them stupid harware store taps away. Buy good quality SPIRAL POINT TAPS. No tool and die maker woukd ever use the taps that you use. Even with the pecking option that you have,the tap would instantly explode if you tapped any kind of tool steel.Love your video but every time I see a you tubber use a hardware store tap ,I cringe.
You’re about the third person to mention that lol I actually ordered some and I’m going to be using them on my next project. I appreciate the insight and the support.!
If he just used spiral taps, he could tap with his mag drill while it was in position, just after drilling the hole. Much more efficient and intelligent. @@relicboxing
“I believe” and “I want to say…” So the poor guy isn’t sure about anything. And he certainly can’t be blamed if you buy the machine and lose all of your money. He’s just not sure what will happen. I think.
The collets have a clutch in them. If you adjust it properly then you should not break taps. it will just slip.
Your right. I never did adjust them!
Yeah Milwaukee cordless is a lot less fun at about 8/20, but my drill bits last long enough to get dull

I’m definitely going to order some new taps
We just use a battery drill, works pretty good also.
It's a flex arm, keeps parallel to the base, allows you to drill holes with good parallelicity but no CAM programming.

If you buy spiral point/flute taps you can just tap in one go. You shouldn't be using hand taps in this machine. I have the same machine works great.

Came here to say this. Spiral point taps for through holes. Spiral flute taps for blind holes. Adjust your collets for your most common material

Use OSG hypro steam oxide spiral point taps for through holes. Excellent, and not very expensive.

On your CNC mill, all that is required to peck tap is a "Q" value in your tapping cycle line.

I thought this tool was a portable 5 axis drilling and tapping machine, that would allow someone to drill a hole at any angle, such as underneath vehicle frames and hard to reach sports, with drill press like force so that the holes can be drilled much quicker than pushing a power drill by hand upside down or similar.
no idea
Tap arm
can you put a drill tap combo in one of those?
I’m sure you can but you don’t get a lot of downward force with this arm. When it’s tapping, it actually grabs the material and pulls itself down.
it would be great if there was a mag attachment to solve that@@prestigemanufacturingky
Can't you do the same thing by hand?
Sure if you’ve got a lot of time
Don't brush off chips with your hands, trust me you'll regret it.
Use a paint brush.
I dont care how thick you skin is splinter chips hurt like hell and you have to dig them out most the time.
I think its worse then red hot balls from welding down your shoe.
Or walking by a Bridgeport spraying red hot chips as your taking 100thou layers of metal off.
Im not sure about yours but you can drill with some of those too.
We had a 3 head drill press
With a tap-o-matic i drilled reememed and ran a tap on it each station did a different tool
I made millions of these parts like this after the came off of cnc mills.
The link you provided shows metric only and does not mention us thread. Is this the correct machine.
Yes, it is. If you message them before purchasing just tell them you want US.
so im so dumb i bought a tool that i had no idea what it was ?
You are?
I Europa we have the Same the we calling it Powerflex and we Drill and make 1000 of Holes treths from M3 do M20 Metric iso Treths in Aluminium its a Asome machine we have 3 of them in the Works Shop nice day
Nice!
1/4 20 bolt? Looks like 1/2”..
Your right!
Fancy drill
😁
How this shovel made me 5 millions.
i started to dig a hole, and then i build a house on top and sold it, so the shovel made me 5 millions? your logic...
Been a mechanic for 37 years i lost count how much money my hammer has made me
This thing similar to FlexArm.
Pretty much the same thing for a quarter the price
Why do you seem so much like a used car salesman? lol
🤷🏻♂️
i know it was a smartass comment to get your attention, but in all honesty, anything machine related is cool stuff. I watched a couple of your videos before this one. And by all means if you're trying to become a used machinery dealer that used youtube to market (which is how it appears) then kudos, I hope used machinery dealers never cease to exist. And not trying be a dick, but as someone that has bought multiple used machines, you would be better off diving deeper into discussing technical specs and demos rather than going about it from the approach of dumbing things down and claiming "how much money" something cost & much it COULD make someone else. I totally get the youtube algorithm stuff and trying to get peoples attention, but for actual potential machine buyers, I think you'd fare better with the more traditional approach that comes across as more of a seasoned machinist hitting the important qualities/condition of a machine quickly and with no gimmicky thumbnail, rather than the more "influencer" based approach your stuff comes off as. Personally, if I'm buying a used machine, I want the dealer/owner to know as much if not more about it than I do, rather than like they're just trying to sell me something. Like I said, not trying to be a dick, but just provide some feedback to help your future endeavors man. By all means if you could care less about this input, then feel free to delete my comment and stick to your guns. Will remain subscribed either way. @@prestigemanufacturingky
@@wolfhausindustries thanks man I appreciate the support
anytime brother, one of these days, not anytime soon though, I will eventually be upgrading from my current cnc knee mill to a proper vmc, there will need to be alot of renovation to expand the shop tho first so I can move my surface grinder to my home shop from where I currently have it at my day job, and would like to get a decent manual lathe before the vmc. Long story short though, I'll add you to the list of used machine dealers I keep up with to see what you've got available when the time comes. @@prestigemanufacturingky
I wonder how much money you can make with spiral taps.
A lot if you have a big job that has a bunch of tap work like I do
An electric tapping arm
💯
milling machine
Nope lol
Tapping arm
💯
I can make 20 grand in three months?
I stopped the video at 0:27 seconds to say I have no idea what this tool is. By the end of this video I will know what it is and how to use it. (hopefully 😂)
😂😂
'''''? ni idea
threader
Exactly!
Tapper
💯
is it a tattoo machine
Nope 😂
Ok so as long as you got money you can spend more money to make more money, so it’s not like you can just by that one machine and make money you need to be doing otherthingsm a little bit of false advertising I beleive, just saying
Lol, impact prace 40$ and doed someone
£400 alibaba
SPIRAL POINT,SPIRAL POINT SPIRAL POINT.Tthrow them stupid harware store taps away. Buy good quality SPIRAL POINT TAPS. No tool and die maker woukd ever use the taps that you use. Even with the pecking option that you have,the tap would instantly explode if you tapped any kind of tool steel.Love your video but every time I see a you tubber use a hardware store tap ,I cringe.
You’re about the third person to mention that lol I actually ordered some and I’m going to be using them on my next project. I appreciate the insight and the support.!
Why use 'hand taps' for a mechanical operation? Just get spiral taps like the rest of the world and throw that dumb machine away.
Wouldn't spiral taps work on that machine? And why should he throw it away? Is it unsuitable?
If he just used spiral taps, he could tap with his mag drill while it was in position, just after drilling the hole. Much more efficient and intelligent. @@relicboxing
“I believe” and “I want to say…”
So the poor guy isn’t sure about anything. And he certainly can’t be blamed if you buy the machine and lose all of your money.
He’s just not sure what will happen. I think.
to much tattos...an his hands... no trust....
