Any thoughts on if you are taping threads with out a hole on the bottom? I only want to go about an inch into the end of an acrylic dowel.

Thanks for your information brother very informative 👍

U still sell this I would like to purchase

That is how it supposed to be done ! Great work !

Thanks

ok, what is the gadget/press thing you are using?

I have not been able to find that tap, is there any way you could put a direct link to it. Greatly appreciated. Thank you

Hi buddy I have 1 question. How to reduce the temperature of the tap head? *Do not use lubricating oils. :( When working continuously for a period of time, the tap head gets hot, leading to the plastic product melting. Currently I am using compressed air to blow directly into the tap head, but it is ineffective, and too much compressed air is lost.

To tap you first need to drill a size hole that is known for the tap size you want to use.

Where did you get this exact bit? Cannot find anything but "spiral point"

One major problem.. in the majority of cases where the acrylic needs to be tapped, there is no thru-hole. Hence, a gun tap will not work. You should do another video whereby the chips need to be pulled up and out of the hole using a blind hole tap. Many prefer the two flute plug tap however the correct tap is a blind hole spiral tap. The less flutes the better.

Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for!

Great stuff. The link you posted did not take me directly to the tap you used

Congratulations for the video. would you help me understand which cnc I have to buy, plexiglass and software to use. could you put some links to understand the price/cost. A thousand thanks

Extremely talented work! I'm interested in your custom work for an SFF build. Is there a way I could have you make a custom reservoir for the front panel hole of the Lian Li x Dan Case A4 H20? Essentially for it to fit right inside the front cut out and able to still install the stock front panel. The dimensions for the cut out are 71.5mm x 152.5mm. If at all possible would only need this reservoir to be about 80ml in total. Referencing the EK FLT 80 reservoir but without a pump and a bit smaller/ cleaner so it'd fit that cut out. Hope to see new content from you!

Very useful. Thanks.

Wish had seen this when I tapped some PC with standard tap

really helps, nice research and guide.

What size are you using?

Excellent video, have been looking the best way to pre-drill cast acrylic for these simple square 12"x 9' bullet Resistance Shields I've been making .... Thank you again!!!

Use oil

What about a tap that will work when you dont go all the way through?

IMO Thats the only thing I really dislike about my case. I have the original View 71 TG and always felt it should have come with a PSU shroud. Once I bite the bullet and buy a 3D printer I may design one for myself.

I've threaded plastic and never had that issue. I use 2 flute and do it just like I do metal. It would be better instead of going full-bore through the hole in 1 shot, go 1/2 turn and then back out 1/4 turn. And.....do it with the hand tool, not a press. you'll get clean threads and every time you back out you clean the thread you just made. My taps never get hot but I just take my time. The chips break off and do not compress if you go slow and don't give it a chance to heat up. 2 Flute VS 4 flute gives you more room to clear chips.

I don’t understand. I’ve threaded 1000s of pieces of cast acrylic very successfully from M3 to M6 using standard 4 flute taps. Do I back it out yes, do I use a power drill, yes. Do I add a little soap, yes.

I need a shroud for the corsair 760t. Please let me know how I can email about this!!

Thanks for the video. I noticed that you have machined out a dish in the piece of acrylic. How did you do that? Did you use a router? Thank you

Where can I get a drill press like this?

What should i use to drill holes in acrylic leave for jewelry? Should i use the soap for these tiny drills.

Thank you for this video brother

You threading straight through but what if I only want to thread half way through for studs?

THANK YOU!!!!!!! Your video beginning it is exactly what was happening when i was trying to tap acrylic!

Thank you! A gem on youtube!

what size or what is part #? link doesnt work

This is fantastic 👏 What is the name for the manual tool that you are using here? Can this be applied to cutting external threads. Thank-you so much for this...

I’m case people can’t find it, a gun tap is also referred to as aka “Chip-Clearing Taps”

If one want's to thread tap into acrylic for a Barrow G1/4 Male Rotary to 90 Degree Female Angle (Fitting for watercooling). Which size thread tapping piece would be used?

Do you think the threads in acrylic will last long if you screw and unscrew often with a metal screw in it? thanks!

Thank!!!!

Thank you for your video nobody else has this appreciate it bro

Thanks, ordered an m4 bit and did a test hole and seems like it is going to work well.

Awesome information extremely helpful. Thank you very much

Thanks for saving me the headache

thank you so much for this video... was just what I needed.

we spoke a few years ago about making a shroud for my 760t. are you still make these? life happened and the idea kinda got put on the back burner for me, but i'd like to revisit that conversation if possible :)

useless reviwe at least install it

I see people asking if he still makes this but I don’t see him reply it’s a yes or no answer, for this case and needing one of this but he doesn’t reply so I didn’t ask hopefully he can reply and if money is the issue I don’t mind paying to have one done for me

I think it's a good vid. Informative.

Nice bird
