Danny and yourself are true treasures of the DIY automotive world. Here you are, willing to spend the time teaching people things they may not know in order to make sure they do it right. That's very rare in the line of work you guys are in, and I love that you guys are doing it. And heli-coils were my friend at one point, I worked on aircraft for my time in the Navy. We used to go through those things like an office goes through paper clips. Seems aircraft manufacturers took forever to get the idea to use them off the bat like some of the automotive world does.

I grew up around my dad and uncles being machinist/ moldmaker/tool & die makers. In regard to non-cnc, manually operated machines like lathes, milling machines, planers, surface grinders, that's good as it gets. Old school ways that live and die by metallurgy knowledge, angles, micrometers etc. I was always so fascinated by the work and how many hundreds of awesome little tricks and methods they had to get things straight and accurate, sometimes within .0001" People that weren't around that industry thought nothing of it. I like the comments I see on here. How when people actually see it, they appreciate the type people that make the world go round. And for someone who works with machinery like Daniel, a heli-coil is child's play, doesn't even scratch the surface of his know-how. It's something that can easily shown on camera, but to work beside someone like that throughout the day you can really see some neat knowledge and methods.

Mouth hanging open, eyes glued to the screen! I love these machining videos with Danny! I've always deeply respected machinists because my grandfather worked at Nicholson File from about 1915-1965 making files used mostly for metal machining. Machinists are artists, and so are those who make the tools they use. I hope it never becomes a lost art as computerized machines take over the bulk manufacture of metal parts. I haven't seen anyone since my grandpa wield a file properly until now!!!
@johnaclark14 жыл бұрын
This is some great content, Faye. So many machinists are "don't do this at home" type of people and won't show how to do anything other than in their big machines and equipment. Danny shows you how to do it right and do it at home. Great stuff! Last helicoil I did about 6 months ago was on a 97 Ford Probe where the timing belt idler pulley bolt had pulled out of the block. Getting a helicoil in with no clearance between the engine and the frame was quite the task. If it ended up straight it was a miracle but it did go back together.
@phenomiclord2614 жыл бұрын
Totally agree. All you need is a good friend with good experience and knowledge to help you out.

A couple of tapping tricks. Mostly related to the taps themselves. If you are really worried about getting it straight, and can't use something like a 1-2-3 block, you can get piloted taps that will really help in starting it straight. Get the threads started as far as you can go and swap to a standard tap if you need more depth. If you need to have threads to the bottom of the hole, you will need a bottoming tap. A worn out tap makes a good thread chaser. Don't buy taps at the local hardware store if you can avoid it. Sometimes you have to if you are in a pinch, but they are usually very poor quality. Call tool and machinery supplier for a shop and get them to ship them to you. They are usually the same price or cheaper, have a much larger selection, and the taps are usually much better quality. Same with drill bits.
