Who would have ever known all this. I'm just now (late in life) learning all this, knowing how to put together pieces of metal through methods other than welding is a great tool in my toolbox for metal work. Now all I need is some practice and the necessity of it all will bring out all my inventions. Thanks for the video.
Great video... I have a new project requiring hand tapping into the sides of the casting of a milling machine. The holes will not be blind. Is there a particular tap that is best suited for tapping holes in cast iron?
What’s a good tap set for cleaning buggered threads up in a mechanic shop? I’m just getting started in this industry and don’t really have much knowledge on taps.
@@rudydaberry122 That geometry should make it easy to align the tap into existing thread, and the bright finish will be less sticky than black oxide. Good luck.
@7:40 something fell... I'm listening thru headphones and it sounds like it is directly behind me! Just spent 5 minutes trying to see if the cat pushed something off a shelf! (seriously)
Try re-tapping same thread just to see if you have any good meat left at the bottom of the hole. If not, predrill and tap for next major thread size up
I am never ever using Chinese taps .. One broke just cleaning threaded hole in engine head bolt hole down deep in block. It took me 6 hours to cut it in half with dremel diamond drill and valve grinding compound from the flute to flute . I am ordering all new TRW or German taps asap .
How to make 2"NPT thread milling program for vmc machine?? Fanuc mitsubishi and haas??... how make Taper thread milling program??? Any 2d Programming techniques?? Or any 3d software?? Please make video ...
"It even covers METRIC size's." (like most of the world has for many many many years). Should a student of yours, try to work abroad M/F, F/M or any other gender, it would be very difficult to find a position in a company working in Inches and Thou's ( known as the Banana scale).
Eh, I guess - but converting metric to imperial and vise versa isn’t exactly hard. I’m in Canada and my shop uses exclusively imperial measurements and the vast majority of my customers do as well - it doesn’t mean when a metric drawing or metric thread call-outs come in that we can’t figure it out 🤷🏼♂️
@@iansandusky417 that's true of course but trying to convert tolerances from metric to imperial or vise versa is tricky if you don't know what you are doing
Great info. A lot of people don’t realize there are so many variations.

Extraordinary detail !
Super helpful !!
I learned lots !!!
Thanks mate .
👊🏼 🔥
Wonderful content. Thank you
Form taps are the only tap I use in stainless. Never had one break. Just make sure it is intended to be used in stainless

Nice

Probably a polished bright finish bottoming tap with straight flutes
@ okay I shall look that up

I lost thread on my M8-1. 25, my question is do I need to used the same size of tap to rethread?

What about punch taps?
