How to tap and die

[@bobgreene2892]

Especially helpful that you checked a newly-cut thread for smooth operation. Your entire video is clearly narrated, with excellent camera angle, distance and lighting. No problem with audio, either. We understand modern cameras do most exposure automatically, but some publishers (occasionally) botch their videos, anyway.

A tap and die and some WD-40. A hammer, where can I find a damned hammer?

Whats up wid it HANK lol good old moment

[@cum_as_you_are]

Instructions unclear, now i'm dead.

[@chinese244]

GREAT VIDEO>>>>>>GREAT CLOSE UPS. SIMPLE EXPLANATION......GREAT DEMO......I have never done any of this...My big concern is using the right drill bit. THANK YOU AGAIN !!!!!

[@76kamikazi]

You’re instructions here is worth a subscription.

[@nickduggan3084]

I'm glad you showed an example of it not working perfectly at first!

[@inkyguy]

Thank you. I inherited a really nice tap and die set, but I had no idea how to use it - or initially even know what it did. Your video is immensely helpful.

[@davehoward2791]

Today I tapped holes for four 14mm bolts in 3/16" steel for a set of off road lights using an el-cheapo set of taps (no name on them, just "Made in China"). Was scared to death of breaking off the tap in the hole, what a nightmare that is. Been there & done it, didn't want to go there again. Took my time, followed your directions, used plenty of cutting oil, and voila- success! Thanks for the great, informative video! 👍

[@MartinvonBargen]

I like the fact that the guy sounds like a kid. My dad was a truck mechanic and helped a lot of younger mechanics pass their apprenticeships. Enjoyed the video and keep helping people out :)

[@FrankHurtAuto]

Thank you. Most of the videos on this channel are actually made by high school students.

[@MartinvonBargen]

@@FrankHurtAuto I've been teaching for over 20 years now, but over in Europe. I forgot that schools in North America have auto shops too. My dad lest school at 13 in 1946 and was working at 14. He would have loved youtube if he'd seen channels like this.

[@johnpatrickrivera]

Thank you for taking the time to make this video.

[@hollimeagher6514]

Watching this was super helpful, thank you for explaining as you went also and helping me to understand how to use a tap and die. 👍🏼

[@paulkubic786]

Absolutely great teaching, down to earth, he should get a teaching award!

[@WeatherNut27]

Very cool guys!! Never knew how this worked, now I do. Thanks for the upload! Perfect explanations

[@brandoncoombes2298]

Makes a perfect example. Understood well

[@jwrongx]

Someone gave me a tap and die kit. Had no clue how to use it. A++++ KZbin is the best

[@gfotinakes316]

Thank you for teaching an "old dog a new trick"

[@erwinerwin1245]

A fantastic video. Could not get better instructions then this. Thanks

[@leonstarrksantiago3507]

I would probably never have to do this but it looks very satisfying. 😀

[@wmarkusen100]

Thank you this was excellent!

[@coalhouse_walkerjnr4735]

Thank you for this very helpful demo. I will use this useful information this very day. Thanks again.

[@GoutamDAS-ls1wb]

Now I know the basics. I would so much appreciate if you could elaborate on how to select the taper and the depth of the threads

[@yuyo57]

Great instructions and very clear and Precise.

[@garyfletcher8150]

The individuals who disliked must all be dyslexic and was trying to say >dis-i-like

[@ramraja7796]

Very informative and clear instruction , I can't wait to start using new Tap & Die set, Thank you, keep the good work up and make more easy to understand video or even better why not make a video on how to make bolts for T track ..... they very expensive for what they are.

[@socaljusticewarrior558]

I was brought here by a King of the Hill clip. I'm glad I went down this hole because I could use on of those to fix my shotgun. Instead of trying to get some lazy hardware store employee to find a bolt with the proper thread count, I can just make my own bolt. Huzzah

[@TIRCQ]

Thanks a lot... now I feel safe to buy my first Tap and Die Set :)

[@wernerbruin1827]

Works well on aluminum. Steel, not so much.

[@tristantaus4556]

You got to good type of SAE tap & die tool set tho the type I look for to buy online

[@NiHaoMa123]

Very nice instructions!

[@ItodoVincentonah-cc8zr]

Nice job

[@garyduncan7129]

The camerawork in this is exceptional. Everything is very clear. I learned a lot. One question though: When you redid the process to make the threads deeper, why couldn't you just adjust the die with the screw adjustment only? You did show that, but then the video went on to show closing the gap by positioning the die differently in the holder to apply pressure to close the gap.

[@FrankHurtAuto]

Hi Gary, thanks for the compliment. The reason die was turned around and side bolt tighten, was to squeeze the die and cut the threads deeper. some die's have a screw on the side that you can tighten up to accomplish the same result. By the was these videos are made by my teenage (16-17 years old) students. Thanks again, cheers.

[@garyduncan7129]

@@FrankHurtAuto OK, thank you very much. Tell your students that the quality of their videos is very good and their explanations are crystal clear. I used to be a technical writer, so I always appreciate well-executed instruction.

[@TheMigrainecenter]

super good job budd! keep up the great work and God bless you!

[@racbirsingh7005]

[@ulys2ssfifty14]

Thank you now i know how to die

[@upward_onward]

I tried threading in a 6mm tap using 5mm drill bit but thread gets spoilt when I use 6mm tap. Can you tell me the reason ?

[@akbarhussain1767]

Hi there,thank you truly,that was a valuable demonstration, thank you friend 🙂🙂🙂

[@jamescornflake1542]

Hello. What is the story when die is not the adjustable type? Please. Mine is difficult to get on a Thread Starter for my .22 rifle.

[@effinog]

If its a hexagonal die then then its job is to clean up damaged/rusty etc threads not cut them.

[@mareksluzynski4750]

Any recommendations on where to purchase tools that will last?

[@vvpalace1]

Exallent job

[@lanceblack88]

Excellent!

[@shopcrate5687]

Wasn't there one hole then there were 2. Did you screw up?

[@Jamil1989]

[@mikebonge7206]

Nice

[@eksine]

when he "added the cutting fluid", he completely missed the hole, LOL hahaahah

[@tonyday7233]

Thanks , i will have a go.

[@mekanwoke6968]

Do you by any chance Know someone who can do this in Tampa, FL

[@davidplunk8659]

You need a tap block if will hold you straight

[@jackmarashlian2463]

Your effort is appreciated, if I may would you pay an hour wages for one thread??? I do not think so... furthermore in your first attempt you showed the die holder screw on the split??? why? the correct way is when you re threaded the dimple in the die is to adjust the diameter of the thread IS THE CORRECT WAY... sorry... Jack

[@brookelee139]

Thanks dad

[@robertsaca3512]

Good instructional, the PC police won't like the 'sexist' phrases, but don't listen to them.
