Thank you very much for your time and attention to this. My father was a Millwright and it is very refreshing to see the care and detail you spend in what you do. The down to earth manner of your approach which focuses on the important and only brushes on items which exalt form over substance gives great credence to what you seek to teach. I have an Atlas 6 inch, and a little 109, which I inherited from my father when he passed and have learned a great deal from you already. I only occasionally used the lathe before but now am taking a new interest. There was just so much that I never took the time to learn from dad when he was with me. You have so much information and knowledge to give and I am thankful that you have the opportunity to do so. My father would have liked you. thanks again, chuck

For small taps (No.4 thru No. 10) using the drill press as a guide, I remove the belt then back off the quill return spring until the quill just floats. I then can rotate the tap manually at the pulley or at the drill chuck. I run the in so far then remove the workpiece with tap still in it and finish with a hand tap wrench.

The tap shown at 6:30 is known as a "bent shank nut tap" used in high speed nut tapping machines. The shank is small enough for the finished nut to travel along it's length and fall off the crook. Looking at the crook you can see a more pronounced reduction in diameter - which allows the nuts to make the bend. This eliminates the need to reverse the tap out of the nut, saving time. The mechanism used to clamp and drive this tap is too complicated to describe here, but that is what this is.

Great video, thank you! The tap is a "bent shank tap", it llows tapped nuts to pass through the bent shank portion, enabling continuous tapping without reversal or stopping.

I was taught that tapping trick with a drill press in the early '40s by a WWI veteran. The difference is that he kept a sock of lead shot handy, which he would hang on the quill handle to keep pressure on the work. As he had only one arm, that was necessary for his work. That idea might be handy if you need both hands on the work.

I learned to tap from an elderly retired machinist, and have never broken a tap, and have used the power tapping equipment when making base plates for pool table leg adjusters. The lesson inusing the drill press to tap straight is most appreciated! As for the "what is it?" I've seen one but didn't know what it was for, and by the comments now know what it is. GREAT VIDEO, Thanks

If you had a bunch of holes to tap with your brother's gizmo keeping a cordless drill with a 1/4" square drive in it would greatly speed things along. That industrial tapping head is slick! Shame some more collets haven't turned up for it. I just bought an old Black and Decker mag drill. The manual says you can tap with it. It has 2 speeds, 250 and 500 RPM. I will try it out in some scrap sometime and see how it does. Great video as always!

Another way to tap using a drill press if you don't have a center is to simply put a long PH or PZ screw bit in the chuck. The tapered end of the bit works really well as a center in the center hole of the tap. Really cheap and they comes in different sizes to fit various center hole sizes.

The bent tap (already mentioned in a previous comment) is used in an automatic nut tapping machines where the tap won't have to reverse the spindle to unscrew them while the nuts stack up on the curved side then exits here at a fast rate of speed. The shaft must be full at all times. There is a video of it showing a Unistrong Nut Tapping Machine /watch?v=bbj7_xgarCs I Google image keyword "Bent Shank Taps" for this quiz.

The hook shaped tap is a lot like one I have seen used for mass production of nuts, The nuts fling off the hook via centrifugal force and are caught in a hopper, there are a few different ways to drive the tap itself the machine I saw used a series of rollers, I saw another that used a drive socket on the front of the tap. Someone may have already answered this I haven't read all the comments, Best regards to all.

I have found a way to tap a hole on a bench drill press without reverse. My drill press is the standard pulley speed type (harbor freight) Attach a gear puller to the pulley using a washer to prevent the puller from actually pulling the pulley. connect a socket to the gear puller and a breaker bar. It acts like a tapping machine.

on a cnc you cant put pressure on the quill but using the pilot method he said that tap wrench has a hole in the end and you can crank down the quill on cnc being carefull not to crunch it and that works well also... takes a minute to spin it up on lathe and you will use it constantly--even in his drill press method. but normally in brideport or drill press i would simply power tap and reverse the motor

Does anyone (or mr pete of course!) know why you cant sharpen taps? That's not a challenge or a suggestion that mrpete might be wrong, its a genuine question I ask simply because I don't know the answer and it seems interesting. I really know very little, but I would have thought a rotary tool with a carbide or diamond wheel could hone the flat flank of the cut-out section of the tap by just a tiny bit and get them sharp again. I'm sure that must be an incredibly naive thought bereft of some vital fact though!
