I was one the last generation of kids to take machine, wood , auto, drafting and metal shop classes and I feel it’s sad that kids don’t have them nowadays. I learned so much from them. I worked as a machinist and machine operator for years and have never forgotten the importance of taking those classes. I use a lot of training to diy around the house and my own personal vehicles. This video shows a good technique for the basics homeowner to use.
Kids still take those classes lol.
no teacher in my school couldve made this as clear as you did, thanks man
Glad it was helpful!
Well Said, I took shop class and didn't learn this. lol
Why aren’t we teaching the youth this type of stuff? Thank you for your educational videos. Very helpful.
T and D has always been an intimidating subject for me for some reason, but your video demystified things and was very clear and straightforward. I look forward to making threads!!
You are a natural teacher. Thanks for the simple instructions that you show for using a complex tool. Bravo!
Hi. Bought my 1st T and D set from local hardware shop, found your video and set to work......successfully! The big 2 tips I found super helpful were 1: tapering the end of the rod and 2: wd40 as lubricant. Worked a treat. Thanks mate from an autumnal Bournemouth, England.
Glad the video was helpful!
thank you for this. Appreciate your time. I am a carpenter, recently began making guitars... and I never thought I would need a tap and die set for luthiery. That said, I am making my own knobs, and need to put in some hex locks to hold those knobs on. Small thing, but important!! I will get a set and try my luck.
This is something I was never formally taught either in a classroom or out in the field. I'm a licensed electrician so I only know how to do small stuff like 6/32, 8/ 32, and 1/4 x 20 type material. Thanks for the very helpful video.
This is what I needed to find to use the old set I have. Never threaded pipe before and didn't have a clue how to even get started. Thanks for making it simple AND doing it right. Will practice a little before trying to do this on my actual pieces of pipe. Jesus bless.
Thanks for the video.
My car seat bolt stripped but followed your instruction and made my first tap die repair
I always wondered how these tools worked. I just began working at a fabrication and machine shop as a labourer but the work is interesting to me
Very good. I've cut a lot of threads by hand and this is solid advice. Lube is your best friend, use a steady / firm grip and pay close attention to how much force you are using, especially when tapping. Taps are very hard but very brittle and will snap easily if you don't pay attention.
Nice, been about 15 years since I have done any die work. I never learned about a 'Thread Chaser'. Thank You for mentioning that.
I'm not even a mechanic but I enjoyed this random knowledge. This should probably be taught us in school.
Awesome video. I been a tool and die machinist for to long and started as a trainer now. I wanted to show and video for my class and this was and is a great video. Nobody feel asleep which was a bonus like yesterdays class when I was training😅. Well done!
Great video. About to use a die for the first time and appreciate the tips. Thanks!
Thanks for making this video. My dusty unused tap and dye set I bought in a yard sale (also dusty and unused) thinking it may be handy one day. Fear of using this tool had not given way to courage til today. Your video removed the fear, and my set will not be that guys at yard sale set. I may wear it out. It's a lot of fun to use thanks for informative video.
Thank you.
This world of tap and die is completely new to me
I recently inherited a t and d set from a relative
You were extremely clear
That was great instruction! Took all the mystery out of it and had some cool tips and tricks too! Easy to watch... Wisdom is apparent. You're an excellent teacher. Can't wait to watch the other stuff.
Thank you! Need to repair a bolt from a mower. This was very helpful
Thank you for a very instructive video. You made the whole process easy to understand.
I use split dies which are good on stainless as they cut several passes as you close them in making the harder metals easier to cut but also work great at chasing threads out.
I was in a jam and needed a quick explanation and he nailed it, thank you so much
Glad it helped!
Excellent instruction for a newbie like me. Thanks!
great video thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge
Excellent introduction video to tap and die use. Thank you
Thanks for filming this-simple but helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Of course, metric does it differently! I think we should save ourselves major headaches and just convert, as a nation, to the metric system! It's an easier system.
This is a good idea since theirs is alot easier to understand and they dont use feet and some guy named miles to measure
No need to buy two sets of tools anymore
No
Let's just GLOBAL
But who will be in charge of you
@@happysawfish are you a bot? This comment sounds like something a bot would say.
Man oh man, awesome tutorial! Keep them coming bro!
Thanks! Will do!
i like that old school Black and decker chart. where can i get one of those
A wealth of knowledge and experience. Thank you for sharing.
You did an excellent job explaining this. I was wondering the difference between the tap and die and the thread chaser kit. I'll buy both. Thanks so much.
Glad we could help!
Thank you, sir. God bless 🙌🏽 🙏🏽 your path. I've become this much more smarter, which is a lot. Wisdom brings riches, indeed 😊
I know this is old but everytime I use a set, I grabbed what would be the new threads, screw them onto the bolt I want to make a new hole for, it fits perfect, I tap a new hole and thread the new threads in that fit on the bolt perfectly, but then when I go to put the boat in it never goes incorrectly always cross threads every single time.... I don't understand....
EXCELLENT--simple, clear, and direct. Enjoyable to watch, too. Thank you!
Agree!
Outstanding and amen on the converting to metric we already measure about 3/4 of our stuff and metric already. Wait a minute there 3/4 metric.
You made it a real easy job thankyou 😊
Good video, I learned something new today. So thank you for sharing this information.
Glad it was helpful!
5/8-11. Just used it. Tap and die set very handy. Now to decide whether to buy 1" course thread 5/8" bolts or just cut the tubing, flip them around, and bolt them back or cut some old spark plugs..
Thanks for this. I need to make a new hole to hold down my cars battery. This made it clear what I need to do first.
Thank for keeping it basic, for us beginners
Nice demo, thanks.
OMG! TYSM! EXCELLENT VIDEO! NOW IM GOING TO TRY IT. WISH ME LUCK! 😊
great video i sometimes have to do this at awkward angles on motorbikes a demo on awkward angles would be great.
I'm not an expert at taps, but I seen you put a bevel on the rod for the die, couldn't you also put a bevel at the opening of the hole to make starting the tap easier?
most common taps are tapered
Thank you for the informative video, maybe you could advice me with my problem. I have an older camper where the spare tire is on a hinged shelf under the vehicle. A rod come down from the frame which secures the tire frame. That rod is 1/2X20 and rusted out to the point where the nut just falls off. Can I use a tap and change that to 7/16X14 or 1/2X13? Thank you for the help.
Great video. Thank you
Great video. I don't have any of those fitted machines to file the end of the bolt, but I'll see what I can do.
Nicely explained and demonstrated thank you
Great job teaching how to do it.
Use bullseye level on top of tap or die handle to achieve vertical.
Watching Discovery Channels GOLD RUSH. brought me here. There was an episode where one of the very knowledgeable guys on the show needed to tap and die on a drive shaft connecter on one of their rock haulers.
I have used taps before but never a die. I will use some old rods for practice. Thank you!
Glad you guys liked this one.
Great teacher🎉
Thanks very happy and very helpful ive subscribed all the best from the 🇬🇧
Thanks for the sub!
Greatly spoken I learnt a lot thanks 🙏🏼
Great, concise video. Thank you
Thank you for this!
Thank you for the video, you made it easy to understand
Glad it was helpful!
This helped so much. I have to tap into my gokart engin so i can add my torqe converter
Ive seen so many professional hack just keep turn the tool without backing off - they just keep cranking on the tool with no cutting oil etc. I busted off a tap on an intake manifold for my 71 CJ 5.
Try extracting one of those hardened buggers when its flush with the surface.
Especially embarrassing as my father and both grandfathers were tool and die professionals. i was 17 and knew everything. They got a lot of mileage out of that one, but I did learn how to STFU and listen and how to ask for instruction when I wasn't sure about something. They're all gone now, but I've got the youtoobs.
If you’re using the die cutter thing to repair a bolt thread that is damaged on the first few mm how do you make sure the newly cut thread lines up with the existing thread further down?
What a teacher.
Very informative, thank you for your time👍🏻
Thanks for mentioning that you should use a particular side of a die. I was wondering why it effed everything up when I flipped it over!
i respect this youtube video alot
#jackharrisonlikespeen
Great video, but no one ever seems to talk about die stock sizes and the wrenches that fit them. I bought some NPT dies to threat a brass pipe, but I cant for the life of me find a wrench for the dies. The 1/2 inch die that I need is 2 1/8 inches in diameter. It is to big to fit a 2inch die wrench and to small for a 2 1/2 die wrench. Ive never seen a 2 1/8 die wrench though. So whats up with that?
sublime - Thanks very much
Great video thank you for the video
Glad you enjoyed it
I learned a lot thanks
Glad it was helpful!
@@ClassicMotorsports I have been a elevator tech for 42 years I have used die sets . And again I learned something. The young today are missing out on good trade money
This is outstanding - thank you!
This is some high grade Dad shit.
It’s my first time using a tap and die…I stripped a bolt hole on my motorcycle. Do I need to drill out the old thread to rethread the hole?
Hi great video.....I have chipboard screws that are partial thread and I want to make it into full thread ...is there any way I can do it
I inherited my great grandfather's set do you know if theres any to old to be using value wise? I dont wanna leave it in the shop if its antique.
I’m trying everything and I can’t get it to work. Am I using the wrong kind of metal rods? I’ve tried several different kinds of metal rods and I cannot get it to work.
Thank you
What an informative video!
I am surprised that standard sets don't come with something to assist with alignment.
Perfect for plastic, rubber, wood, cooper, and soft steel or aluminum
Awesome! Thanks
For a tapered NPT female thread which ID is relevant for choosing the right drill bit? The narrow or the wider ID? Or maybe take it at half thead?
We would suggest looking for an NPT drill chart because every NPT thread has a specific drill to use.
round dies do only new threads and the “square” ones are for following ONLY the threads?!
That was superb!
Amazing thanks great job!!!
Enjoyed the vid! Hope you make more.
What kind of lubricant is that?
Any specific kind I will need I’m tapping into a engine block
I keep a magnet in a small plastic bag at the base where the wastes falls. Hate sharp metal bits in my shop
very good but make it easier on yourself and when drilling when you have tightened the chuck turn it back till you hear a little click this will lock it and it wont let the drill bit spin
new subscriber here, thanks for all the good tips
Thanks for the sub!
Awesome video boss. 👍👍🔩🔩🔩
Good stuff
Great video!
Would have been great if you would have actually provided the chart that gives you the drill sizes for each size tap.
They're readily available on the internet.
Not helpful, yet again
Really great video!!!
Thank you!
Thank you 👍👍
although not recommended, after drilling, i still
use drill for tap
Great video Thank YOu!
Glad you liked it!
AWESOME THANKS
Wonderful video! Thank you, and you have another sub!
