Fun Beginner Lathe Machinist Project - Tap Squaring Tool For Thread Cutting

[@adamh7644]

The ending is like a nice little test to see who watched the video all the way through😉

[@nefariousyawn]

I swear my drill finds a way to fold space no matter how hard I try to square it up with the work by eye. Simple little tools like this really make a difference.

I'm super intrigued about that metal lube container. Reminds me of an ink bottle, but unbreakable. Couldn't see the cap though. Very interesting!!

[@6061]

@James Mihalcik It's just leftover titanium round bar from some fill cap bungs Tony made me several years ago. Here's the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oX7GhXmpobuHnaM

Amazing this is the only video i found of actual use on a wabeco bar bed lathe :D

[@dunbarautomotive]

Dude!!!, thats sweet. I'll have to make one for myself too. Thankyou sir 😮😊

[@viorsa8200]

Ok, buen trabajo maestro, gracias por compartir sus conocimientos y experiencias, un cordial saludo y por supuesto un gran like desde Narón (Galicia) 👍🤓😜

Irwin-Hansen make a set of self-aligning taps and dies that work great for staying square. They have a longer start piece that helps to stay square in the hole. If the hole is closed bottom then you will need additional taps to cut the threads to the bottom.

This is why it's good to have a nice fixturing Table “specifically the ones with the holes”. There are so many cool accessories, but it all adds up so fast. Lots of People make them now though. Really an ElectroMagnetic Drill could make quick work of doing straight threading if your Table or something near it is Steel.

Can you tell a bit more abaout the hand tapping tool was it designed for that or is it repurposed ?

[@tubbed68cuda]

Thanks for sharing. What model is your lathe?

[@caffienatedchaos]

Love the video and the part! But may I humbly ask for some stabilisation with the camera setup on the lathe? The vibration in the video is pretty pronounced. Thanks for all the tips and vids!
