Excellent example of what an instructional video should be - informative, clear and concise with the graphic supporting the text. Thanks very much!

[@dgriffin6074]

Thank you. This is, literally, one of the BEST and professionally done teaching videos I've seen on YT

This is definitely one of the BEST most comprehensive and professional tutorials on You tube.

[@tedsmith6137]

Good job! You're a great tutor! I learned everything I needed to know about this, plus your explanation of the different tap ends helped a lot!

Well done. I'm new to taps and dies. I working on a project involving taping to the right gauge and you nailed it. Thanks

[@tedsmith6137]

A good tip my father taught me is to put the tap in your pocket well before starting the job, so that it is warm and will be less liable to snap.

[@MatthewEncina]

Thanks for all the solid information!

[@princessmarlena1359]

This is the sort of thing they should be teaching [more often] in schools…my older brother was the last generation to learn this in high school shop class, during the 1980s. His class project was to make a set of nuts and bolts using the tap and die set. No breaking the taps, the nuts and bolts must thread properly, or it’s an “F”.

[@woodstream6137]

Stem is important but i would love to see shop class and home economics become mandatory for every student. Basic tool usage, cooking, sewing, and especially personal finance. With wall street, banks and SS shenanigans trying to screw normal people, children need to learn that our disposable and credit usage attitudes are unhealthy. Sure that should be up to the parent but the country has over 300M people and many parents don't have the time or knowledge. Waiting for that to meaningfully catch up could be too late.

[@princessmarlena1359]

@@woodstream6137 I, or rather my older brother, has a funny shop class story. There was a kid in his class who wanted to make a wooden engraved sign for his dad, “DAD’S WORKSHOP”, as his final project and Christmas gift. First he engraved it, but forgot to space it so it ended up reading “DAD’SWORKSHOP”. No problem, he figures, he can do the other side and fill in the mistake with wood putty and sandpaper later. When he finished, to his horror the side read “DD’S WORKSHOP”. He forgot the “A”. That’s when the bell rang, ending the last class of the school day, and the final school day before Christmas break.

[@colbyweber650]

People should learn about forming taps and spiral taps for blind holes

[@duanecjohnson]

I highly agree! "Thread Forming Taps" produce stronger threads as they forge the threads instead of cutting them. The metal grains are, generally, forced to follow the shape of the treads. Forming taps can do bottoming in blind holes. Forming taps don't need to do the pecking dance as the don't produce chips which don't need to be cleared. There are also "Thread forming Dies" also. redrok

[@rotarythread]

That is a huge collection set of tap and dies! In case you do not have that liquid, a fully synthetic engine oil works the same. Make sure to clean it after!

Your explanation is easy to understand, thanks. Jst doing a module in Taps and Dies

[@forevercomputing]

I mainly use these to repair/clean threads. I had to do an M22x1.5 and the end was mushroomed, the nuts would fit on the other axle. I had to buy a new set as my current one topped out at M16/M18. Getting that thread recovered meant I had to reverse the tools. I held and turned the part while keeping the handle still. Luckily for me the part was a drive shaft and had didn't matter if I was bending it as the bottom part with the threads was being kept still regardless. 2 hours later and that nut went on nicely, then I did the nuts. Even better.

[@karlbohm6913]

Thanks for the great tutorial! Well done. A word of caution! When fabricating your own fasteners, remember the ones you buy are heat treated after they are made. Also the material is of much higher strength and quality that the cheep mild steel you have laying around. Example: You want to attach your seat belt to the cross member behind the seat. Say you used ¼ inch thick material. Well a coarse bolt only has max 3.5 threads engaged (really more like TWO, the first and last don't hold much) and a fine pitch has max. FIVE and that in mild steel tubing. Please don't bet your life on it. The bolt will rip right out. Grade 8 fasteners exist for a reason.
