Very nice, I think I'd have replaced the retaining grub screw with a counter sunk screw - that way you can set the screw length such that it is never trying to clamp the follower but will always retain the plunger as the head bottoms out in the counter sink first. And as concentricity is only really important at one end of the tool I think I'd be tempted to cut the taper the other way - that way the worst of any drill wandering would be in the spring part of the pocket and have no impact on the tool. (Assuming of course I actually thought of any of this before just doing it, and was confident enough I could cut the taper right without being able to test it.).
I used a tipped carbide burr as a tap follower recently, decided I’d power drive the tap out, pushed back and locked the tail stock, forgot I had the spindle speed set fairly high, so when I flipped the motor on, the tap started backing out exceedingly fast, I had my hand between the burr and the tap handle, and I drove the burr straight through my hand as it pinched on the back of the tap. Freaking out mentally, but keeping cool, hit the e-stop, unlocked the tail stock, moved it, looked through my hand and watched it for a few seconds until the blood started…thought goddammit! Shut the garage up went inside approached the wife doing the dishes, calmly began to tell her I’d put a hole through my hand when she looked at my hand and freaked out, which caused the the kids to freak out. Drove myself to urgent care, a cleaning and a Band-Aid later, all patched up, still some tenderness, fairly small scar, but dam it was stupid…lucky I had the tail stock as far back as I did or my entire hand may have gotten caught up by the tap handle.
Dear Sir ,you brought back a lot of memories,my days as a machinist was way back in ‘60s an never touched one since,it was a rather large beast,a Herbert No 4..happy days 🇪🇸
The trick I learned to tap straight holes in the lathe is to use a point to push the tap straight in the center of the hole. I use the tap handle as a rotation stopper and I pull on the chuck to turn the part while the tap is not rotating. That makes it easier for tight spaces!
14:06 no mate, your design is better than everyone else's.. the tool is simple to make, its effective, and it will last forever while doing exactly what it's supposed to do..
When I was a first year apprentice I made a tap follower similar to this but for a Jakob's chuck. I also made a second tip which I bored out to use a die follower
Nice work. I like the idea of the dual purpose tip. What it all boils down to is what you want to or capable to make as there are a multitude of different designs.
Thanks for all your great video work. I am in the process of upgrading my 7x16 mini-lathe and really appreciate the videos you have produced about the subject. This video is also timely as I am planning to make a better tap follower than one I made when just beginning my hobby machine journey. Cheers!
If you don't have blueing compound to tell your contact patches on a part you can use a candle to deposit a thin layer of soot on the outside of your part and then slide them together and check that way
I can make that, The pointy not pointy end feature is cool beans Hardening it would also risk warping it and no one wants a bendy tap follower Thanks for sharing
You might not want to say your design is better... but it is! I made a follower that clamps in a drill chuck or a collet chuck and takes most of the Z axis travel in the mill to use. I might be tempted to copy this design in the future. Thanks!
Nice little project. I'm sure that with the hard work you'll be putting this tool through, if the point becomes "dull" you'll be able to "dust" a bit off and it'll be as good as new.
Elegant design! I had decided more than a year ago, that if I ever finish my antique lathe, that one of the 1st projects would be an MTtap follower. Hadn't worked out the double points, or retention... Thanks!
I would prefer to have 2 of them,one with a male point and another with a female centre to accommodate the smaller taps with a male taper on the shank. By having a pair you never have to mess around dismantling and reversing the spring loaded inner shank.
Nice looking tap follower, it's really weird but I made a follower today similar to the the one you cut in half, but I think mine is to a higher tolerance than that one. What does surprise me is you have a collet chuck for your tailstock and you are not using that to hold taps, you should try it, it works really well, I do this whenever I tap a thread on the lathe.
You are an absolute legend for slicing that old tap follower just so we can see the internals... 99.99% of RUclipsrs would have simply made a drawing. Great project. Why did you need to make that end cap? Surely, the tap follower does not need a draw bar, and you could simply mount it in your spindle after cutting the MT3 taper and drill directly from the front? Or am i missing something?
Hey Sir i follow both you and "inheritance machining" .. it seems that you saw his video about the same topic.. Well done thou.. both of you ... WOW 🙂 love your projects
At work I simply used aluminium round stock to make a set of bushings with the right internal diameter and length, so that I can get the tap two or three turns in. Once you have a straight start it usually isn't much of a problem to keep it straight.
You obviously don't understand what a tap follower is. There are is nothing to hold the bushes, and what about round stock, how do you ensure the Bush is straight?
I still don't have a tap follower. In the milling machine I use the power taping function to cut it a few turns. In the lathe I turn the chuck by hand. Small diameter taps might hold in the drill chuck for bigger ones I use a collet chuck. With a straight start it is easy to finish it by hand with a tap wrench.
@@artisanmakes Thank you - I'm pushing down with most of my body weight when trying to tap, clearly something else is wrong. Starting to suspect tje Aliexpress taps aren't any good for more than brass or plastic.
hey i just need to know, for the process of adding carbon to steel parts you use on your videos, can i use sodyum bicarbonate instead sodyum carbonate? also what kind of of flux you use for avoid the shrinking or warping of the material in the template process? is the one used for soldering brass with torch?
I can hear the chattering you've got in your gearbox. I had it in my lathe 250 and it was being caused by the auto feed gearbox, one of the spacers was a 250um too thick and was causing too much intermittent resistance to the lathe and causing the gears to slap around in the headstock. I had an H&F technician troubleshoot it for me, might be a fun project, no auto feed, just use your lathe to fix itself.
If hole was not properly centered, best thing to do would be remove chuck and fit into head-stock taper then bore slightly larger, either enough to clean up or well oversize and make sliding point to fit. You could have done that anyway to avoid drilling and reaming a very long hole that you knew you were going to drill oversize for most of it's length. Could also have made it with threads on outer end and made the cap to guide follower, (need a slight amount of extra length to have nut locate on shoulder to keep it concentric) that way it's much easier to change from a point to a cone. Unfortunately, that would go against the KISS principle 😁 (although a single 4mm grub screw is simpler) Any time you use coil springs stacked, you should use washers between them as they will 'screw' into each other in use
Love love love the channel. Thank you for making such intriguing content. Quick question. Are you not using your quick change tool holders for the mill anymore? If not, can you share why? I love the idea. I bought all the stuff to do one for myself, but haven’t had time yet.
I use it all the time, you probably see it in most videos. I've just bought 4 more er20 collet holders to expand my tool holding capacity with it. I just thought with the tap follower, it makes sense to make it mt3, then I can use it on the lathe and mill, rather than have one dedicated for the mill only
An other way to check the fit of the taper by drawing 3 longitudinal lines 120 degrees apart on the taper with chalk then put the sleeve on it and turn 60 degrees and checking how the lines were smeared.
A spring with ~15 lbs per inch would maintain quill-pressure as the tap threads in. Edit: Ah ... pretty much like that device appears to have @3:25 (inside the device)
Been a keen follower of your channel and have recently purchase a lathe. Do you have a tap and die set brand recommendation to purchase in Aus? Something not too pricey but still decent value for lathe use? Cheers
Probably not the best guy to ask, I haven't used too many brands and a lot of what I have are older taps. I would avoid buying the frost tap sets, they are pretty rubbish. I use a toolmster brand tap set from HAFCO, they are the ones you see in pretty much every video. They are a good set but I dont know how they stack up against other brands

The brand new lathe had grit inside, which he roughly cleaned by draining the gearbox but he didn't clean t he spindle bearings. After a couple of weeks the whole thing is already completely destroyed 😢
Hey that’s a great project. Well done too ! I’m currently working on a new quill nut for my tail stock. It’s got some funky Left hand 5 TPI Acme threads, problem I just figured out is the internal threading bar is 12mm and it doesn’t fit in the hole ! It’s the smallest one I could find.. make a tap ??

Why didn't you turn the taper between points? It's a much easier setup and you may use the power feed. The only hassle I could think of, is to realign the tailstock after work.
I have always found it quicker and easier to just copy a taper with the compound than offset the tailstock. Not liek link matters a huge amount since the end result is the same. Plus I'm not sure i have a lathe dog in the right size for this size job
9:03 i mean, if you hadnt destroyed the one you aleady had just to illustrate a point that could have easily explained with a pencil and a piece of paper...
One method I've seen when you need a centered through hole is to drill the hole first, then turn the outer taper between centers.
Hearing these clever methods to nail precise geometry always makes my day
I like the reversible end feature. If you replace the grub screw with a small thumb screw you won't have to hunt for, lose, or misplace the wrench.
A four-jaw chuck sounds like a """fun""" project

I'm going to make one properly scaled for my machine. Nice simple design.
Seems like every time someone wants to make a tool, having that tool already would be a great help in creating the tool. 😀
No ones design is better than anyone else's, That's the fun part about machining parts. Each custom tool is unique and fun to study and watch work.
Nice design of sprung centre, and well made, ref hardening the 2 ends, it only needs a few mm hardened and tempered.
Thanks for sharing
I was thinking the same as you. Just the tip heated to cherry and quenched won't cause any distortion/warping.

If you need your reamer to run true, bore the first 5mm of the hole to just under the finished size.
He bored the entire length of the hole just under the finished size. That's the only way that reamers are used
The whole bore was drilled undersized with a 25/64" drill and reamed to final size

Personaly, I put an auto center punch in the Jacob chuck.
