How to tap a thread by hand

Making small threads, like M2 mm or 1.6mm or 1mm manually is challenging. Hope this video helps with some tips like using a DIY acrylic drill block or a good tap wrench.

Better fewer tools but great than a lot crapy

[@IntiFeelmaker]

Edu, I really like your ideas, propositions, tests and experiments (like the one to find optimal number of twists in wire for greater endurance). Great! Thank you so much, and I feel inspired by this community. Congratulations and keep going. Hopefully one day we can meet and make stop motion (and other things) together!! Best of wishes.

Very good !!! Thanks Edu !!!!

Cool looking

Thank you for sharing this

At work we used to go through 2 to 3 tapping sets a year because the bosses were buying low quality ones that would break and the guys would lose parts, the bosses finally decided to buy a higher quality set that only me and the manager would use, that way we knew who was to blame if something was lost, since then we didn't had to buy a new set.

Wow, I'm unusually early to this video!

I break so many 3mm taps! 😆

[@markkevin7245]

Edu! Have you ever ran a competition for stop motion training? Maybe a online one as I’m in England

[@0shizuo0]

hey , amazing content always learn a lot with your videos, and is kinda had a idea , but not sure how practical and how good would work , do you think is possible make a diy armature using piercings ? Would be amazing see you try do a low budget armature like that !!!!

[@ValentinFelder]

Funny, I was just thinking about making a similar video about tiny thread cutting :D - My approach is a bit different to yours, maybe it'll be interesting to compare. Currently I have to cut about 800 M1 threads into 1.4310 stainless for the fingers of my hand armatures... The first pairs are already finished and they definitely are much more durable than the brass prototypes! :)

[@lomdifox7987]

Hey, while making a stop motion video is it advisable to shoot videos (wherever possible) instead of taking photos for each frame to save time and efforts?

[@markkevin7245]

I do like cheap tools that work! And do the job … power tools are so cheap and even the worst brands can last a lifetime

[@abeerelsaeed1873]

I have question please 🙏 how can I connect Ac power supply to the Canon Dslr750 D ?

[@jyvben1520]

need a drill press to make the tap guide or know someone has one.

It's false economics to buy cheep tools. You end up regretting it in the end. Isn't also more satisfying to use a quality made tool. In some cases when tapping thru hole in thin material. Lets say one tap diameter thick with a spiral point tap (not spiral flute) it's better to drive the tap without reversing it. It is the reversing that actually chips the flutes. If the chip is forming good ahead of the tap it won't load up the flutes (The other reason for tap breakage). The Spiral point tap (The one that pushes shaving ahead of it) would be the go to tap for the tapping you show in this video. Tapping a thru hole. The tapping fluid can make a tremendous difference. The ones I like are TapMagic and Qualichem's QuickTap. Also MollyDee for the hardest tapping conditions but it is nasty to use and can stain certain materials.
