Making a UNIVERSAL Tap Follower || INHERITANCE MACHINING

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thanks for watching everyone! Despite my troubles (and lessons) this "simple" project was intended to give time for the next one. My biggest project to date. Literally! Keep an eye out for that on February 17th!

[@andrewfergcorpcom]

Thanks for including and discussing all the things that didn’t go to plan!

[@InheritanceMachining]

@@andrewfergcorpcom My pleasure!

[@felixcosty]

Thanks for the video. Just a suggestion change the name on the box from "box of shame" to "box of learning"

[@dtnicholls1]

A new box for lessons learnt? ;)

[@rouelejour4080]

Your videos are great. If you spent a minute explaining what the problem is and how your tool solves it they would be perfect. Not everybody who watches is an experienced machinist.

[@Blueshirt38]

Please never stop the design drawings, even for simple stuff. In the future, they will be just as important as the products themselves to your children or whomever comes after you.

[@SHdrummerguy08]

I teach high school physics and this channel made me dust off my old ENGR101 drawing chops for the lecture notes i post online

[@EnricoMarangonJunior]

Best comment ever !! Keep the analog drawing board ! this is the best feature in a digital "ctrl+c" world. And makes the brain work !

[@raheslop]

I reckon you could see prints of the drawings

[@justinpatterson7700]

Don’t engineering students still have to take some English gen eds?

[@jasoncastaneda1942]

As a stupid worker i also adore this channel

[@TheBradinator214]

@@jb76489 I believe all students have to take core classes which do include English. Why do you ask?

[@elitallnova2959]

I found this channel a few weeks ago and i love it. the production quality of the videos, the learning processes, the side projects, the drafting of most of the projects, the attention to detail. . I am learning so much for when i finally get my own shop space and start tinkering. Thank you for such amazing videos.

[@InheritanceMachining]

My pleasure! And thank you for the kind words. Good luck on your own shop!

[@kylelaw7210]

You should consider selling your designs.

Yeah, he has us all ordering drafting tools!

[@andymouse]

Me Too !

[@HotDogRacing]

I had a project once where all I had to do was drill a variety of holes, some with counter-bores, into a piece of wood and then make a mirror image piece for the other side. After hours of confusion I ended up with two good parts and 3 scrapped parts. Some days it can be a real battle lol.

[@recurvestickerdragon]

When the box fills up, you should do another just-lots-of-side-projects video using as many of those pieces as you can, bonus points if they all become parts for one project

[@clydebalcom3679]

Cool idea. I'd like to see that myself.

[@AgentJohnSteed]

Once again thank you so much for including the whole build lifecycle. Seeing you encounter and overcome mistakes makes me feel so much better about my trails in the shop. Outstanding content as usual.

[@InheritanceMachining]

My pleasure. We all go through it. It's all part of the learning process. Thanks!

[@Doc_Fartens]

I LOVE that you do proper drawings and that you show them being made.

[@AnttiBrax]

If this channel ever needs merch drops, those would make pretty great posters.

[@cyrusgaming943]

Your honesty with mistakes and the learning process are amazing to see since I didn't know the first thing about machining when I found your channel

[@InheritanceMachining]

I appreciate that. Thank you

[@mkegadgets4380]

When I was a apprentice, I made one just like that. The only problem and always would roll off onto the floor. So the second one I made up all the hex stock and that stop it from rolling around. Then on the plunger, I put grooves quarter inch apart, so I could tell the depth of the tap. As always great project. I think you’re gonna need a bigger box.

[@InheritanceMachining]

Those are really nice additions. Thanks!

[@mortsaidmort]

Showing the mistakes, what you felt about noticing / not noticing problems, and the iterative approach to solving is so great. It makes the channel waay more approachable than only mentioning mistakes in the voiceover of machining the successful part. Your method shows how to learn, grow, and be comfortable creating and following your own feedback. What a breath of fresh air.

[@InheritanceMachining]

I really appreciate that. Thank you

[@thylacine1962]

The most creative people use their mistakes to develop perfection. Your no exception. Your in an excelent club.

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thank you 🙏

[@BruceBoschek]

Wonderful tool, beautifully made. My grandpa was an engineer and tool and die maker. He said "Feel free to ignore the problem now. It won't ignore you later." I have often remembered this too late. My wife and I completely restored our 22 room 19th century abbey that would become our home. It took 15 years and in the process, a number of times I saw something that needed to be addressed, but I didn't have time, didn't want to bother, didn't think it mattered. Some of those things never got corrected and still irritate me. I'm too old to start correcting them now, so if they ever do get corrected it will be by someone else. Thanks much for this excellent video. In learning from your mistakes you are helping others avoid making them. That is a true gift.

[@InheritanceMachining]

Those are some great words to live by. I can imagine the stories you have of your renovation. I too have had many similar scenarios in my own home's renovation(s). (ongoing). I take care of as many issues as I can though. Thank you as always for your nice words and encouragement. Even since the beginning!

[@KarenTookTheKids364]

This is easily the best channel on KZbin if you're any way inclined towards the engineering process. And all in a year. Amazing

[@johnhaines6501]

I love the drafting set-up. That's exactly what I learned on decades ago. And your table looks just like the one my dad made for his take home work.

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thanks! It came from my grandfather who got it probably in the 80's sometime

[@dbayboyds409]

I’m loving this channel. And the best part about being late to the party is the full back catalogue to binge on!

In case you're interested, a couple of years ago Keith Rucker did a video about lathe bed leveling and eliminating bed twist. Might help with your tailstock alignment problems. Great vids, keep them coming!

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thanks! I might have to watch that. I did a vid on leveling and aligning my own, but that doesn't necessarily mean I did it correctly. That was also about a year ago now

[@jmtx.]

Cool project. Goes to show that 'simple' is never simple. Looking forward to seeing the follower in action in future projects!

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thanks!

[@chronovaengineering]

Great video, thanks for sharing! In our experience, drilling a long hole with a twist drill will always wander somewhat even if you set up your tailstock super carefully and use a brand new high-quality drill bit, so boring is a must. If you can't bore the whole length, it helps significantly if you just bore the first bit so the flutes of the drill bit are a nice fit to help guide the drill bit the rest of the way.

[@InheritanceMachining]

That's great advice! Thank you

[@HangarQueen]

Love the vertical lathe with the infinitely adjustable tool holder. I've got one of those too but didn't know it. Might come in handy one day.

In a pinch, I’ll use a spring impact marking punch as the tap follower. I do have a mounted tap wrench, but I almost always power tap. But then again I’m usually machining more forgiving materials; also I almost never use small taps or threads that have a tendency to have taps break more.

yeah some wood work to create a refined, precise and bigger one seems appropriate, considering the importance of this box ;-) (and when we are at it, a little renaming, because this box is much more about the learning process than the fails )

[@kvg4790]

I have a jewelers benchtop laser. If I break a tap, I can use it to either blow a hole in the tap or weld something to it so that I can extract it. I’ve also repaired a hole that didn’t need much strength by drilling way large then press fitting a tube into the hole and then laser welding the seams and finishing the hole to correct size. Smallest focal point is listed at 0.2mm, so I can go after small drill bits too. This laser is probably my favorite benchtop tool, when I got it I didn’t know just how much utility it would have. I can weld, “cut” (more like incrementally vaporize material in a line), solder, ablate coatings, and so much more. Being clever with it has seriously increased my capabilities and saved so much time on a couple of parts that I messed up. Freaking love this laser.

[@someguy8578]

Hey @Inheritance Machining, curious if you would prioritize the various tools and fixtures you’ve made in the same manner again or if you could go back and do it again would you have made certain things sooner. Keep up the great work!! You’re an inspiration to go out and start tinkering and making chips.

[@InheritanceMachining]

Oh for sure. This is one I wish I would have made earlier. I'm already using it for projects. Thanks!

I spend way too much time watching machining videos. Both to be entertained and to learn something. As for my personal machining I've spent too much time "learning " from my mistakes. Stefan Gotteswinter, Joe Pie & That Lazy Machinist are great teachers of the craft. They all explain "WHY" not just repeating "old wives'" methods. Thank you for the high quality videos. 100 years ago, I made drawings for the professor's papers, to help pay my way. All done in India ink, mostly cartography. I really like your drawings, bring back memories.

[@tjh44961]

My dad was an architectural draftsman when I was growing up, and all the tools on your drafting table, except for the traveling square, are exactly the same as he used back in the 1960s and 70s. The mechanical pencils, pencil sharpener (his had a foam ring around the outside to clean the dust off the point after sharpening) and all of the various triangle, squares and other templates were made by K&E as well. And his dad was a machinist for Sperry Gyroscope during WWII. I really enjoy these videos, please keep them up.

I inherited my fathers Moore and Wright tap wrench which he bought as an apprentice during the war, I hadn’t used it much before I took it to the Scotchbright debuting wheel and polished the sharp knurling and nicely turned ends smooth. So much kinder to the hands and more pleasant to use.

[@humminna]

This might sound a little mean, but I am looking forward to the episode where you need to make a new "Box of Shame" to accommodate everything that cannot fit in the current one. Otherwise, I love your straight forward and honest videos. Too many other folks will only show all the perfect things they've done. But you are willing to let all of us learn with you. Thank you so much!

[@InheritanceMachining]

Not mean at all! A larger box is inevitable. If I'm not making mistakes, I'm not learning. Thanks for the encouragement!

[@CVSBobby]

Great video Keep it up. 5th generation, 23 year machinist here. Your order of operations bit you on the body. Always move from most coarse to most fine operation. Drill before turning. Drill a center larger than the drill, drill then turn on with the center. In fact always turn on a center anytime projection length exceeds 3x diameter. If end to end taper and concentricity are critical finish turning between centers. Stay at it brother. Much love, it takes a village to raise a child and a whole lot more to raise a machinist and here you are all on your own. I'd love to see a bio video on your grandfather.

[@InheritanceMachining]

That's great advice. Thank you!

[@memphisraynes4651]

What I like at your videos is that you make mistakes and you show it. It is something that just happens and you don't hide it. Very sympathic. As a mechanical engineer with an apprenticeship of mechatronic technician before studying I collected some experience in the workshop, I know that mistakes just happen and you've to figure out how to deal with it. I love your "BOS" :) I had to comment this as you were doing the wrong correction on the tailstock. Greetings from Germany.

I have a feeling that machining is much like my blacksmithing in that by the time you can make all the tools you would need you are pretty much ready to take on work for real people. You have a skill that in many ways can be taught but taking it to the point that you do is more of a passion and you have to have that something extra for that. thankyou for sharing.

For want of a CNC lathe, I once used a Trak DPM3 with lathe tooling in the vise just like you did. My supervisor thought I was nuts, but couldn't argue with the results; I finished what was supposed to be a three-day job on the manual lathe, in four hours.

[@z0mb13h0rd3]

I haven’t even finished watching this yet, and I had to comment. Just got to the part where you mention the “Morse Taper”, and it reminded me of the grandfather I barely knew and inherited little because so was I when he passed. At this moment I am unsure of the dates, but he worked his way up from sweeping the floor in Morse Twist Drill and Machine Company to be the president of the company in the 60’s and possibly early 70’s. So now I’ve spent the last three hours looking up facts about tooling and the history of New Bedford and such (I’m not a machinist fyi). So side project 1 for tomorrow, is to talk to my 80 y/o father and get more information about a man I have scant memories of. But now back to finishing this video since I can’t sleep at this point until I do, three hours later than I planned on. I have few things from his time there, an index of drill bits, a tap set, and not much else. Much my father had was damaged in a flood, and I assume is gone. Keep making these videos, it is fantastic watching you make such fine things and also remain entertaining.

To use one of the kindest things ever said to me "Another week of excellence I've come to expect from you." Not just the machining, but the presentation.

[@thegregdavieschannel]

Regarding your morse taper tool post. Dean smith and grace had something called a power drill attachment that looked similar to a two point steady that clamped onto the saddle. I made something similar for a Colchester bantam (hardringe size machine) and for my large lathe, a Colchester triumph I cut down an old capstan assembly from a lathe I scrapped. I deleted the auto rotate and depth stops. I used 4 dowel bolts to secure it directly to the saddle with appropriate clearance to allow the cross slide to work. I always like the rack and pinion for drilling, particularly when pecking or drilling a deeper hole than the tailstock travel. It was really good for reaming to, particularly at low speeds. I also tried it with a million style boring head, roller box and diehead threading. It was so nice to use. I had lots of big old and well worn drill bits with sketchy morse tapers so I was able to turn the shanks down to mount direct into the capstan. I wish I'd kept that setup, it was sooo good.

[@cdorcey1735]

It's a beautiful tool, excellently explained. I probably would have shrugged at the first mistake, though, and asked "How much difference will it make in the actual tapping of a hole? ANYTHING is a big improvement over free-handing it. Carry on."

[@aaronpentith130]

Your content is awesome. I love your nonchalant way of taking on the mess ups.

[@southronjr1570]

I've done hobby machining and a bit more intensive blacksmithing and it always amazes me how in both areas, when you need a tool, you simply make it. Seeing as how blacksmiths of old are still around only in the form of machinist today, it shouldn't suprise me but for some reason it still does. Oddly enough I had done the machining first in my dad's shop and had several projects stopped simply because I didn't have the right tool, it wasn't until I began training in blacksmithing that it occurred to me that I could have simply made the correct tool to complete those projects. Oh well, live and learn, now I just need to get back in the shop and get some stuff fired up.

[@scottbg1]

Your channel is one of my top 5 favorite channels on youtube. As much as I love the machining process, I have no experience with it other than operating a prosumer grade 3 axis CNC machine. I often wish I had gotten a job at a machine shop when I was a kid, but the next best thing is watching you make stuff. I see that your effort for precision rivals mine. I often say that I don't have OCD, but rather CDO. Good enough isn't ever good enough. So I truly appreciate your owning your mistakes on video, and knowing that it's only made you better at your craft. I wish you and your channel all the best. Thanks for such great content!

[@Thought_Criminal_666]

Hey man, it's your friendly tool maker here again. Lots of drills are actually bent from the manufacturer and will cause the hole to walk off center when drilling in a lathe or any time the drill is stationary and the work is moving. Bent drills don't seem to be a problem on mills or any operators where the drill is spinning and the work is stationary. It's a total pain in the ass when I have to make step drills out of supplied drills from companies who don't care about their quality. It happens way more than you know... 😢

We’ll. Ive come across a new favorite channel. From the name understating how you’ve learned and now the next generation of your family to use the machinery. I’m sure your grandfather is just beaming on you with joy and smiles. And also saying “you should have done that this way.” Ha. I really need to dust off my old table and drafting tools for my future ideas as well. Freshen up on practice. Your quality on videos is quite appreciated by many of that I’m sure. Keep it up. This channel is special.

Thank you so much, Paul! And welcome!

These videos are simply amazing. The camerawork, the narration, the music... *mwah*. The traditional, old school feel is a nice change of pace from everyday life where everything needs to happen asap, and as cheap as possible. The attitude of continuous learning despite what I imagine is many years of experience is refreshing. Humility is hard to come by these days and it's so great to see it on display in such a format. The care and passion you put in your craft (both machining and videography) is apparent and a positive influence on the internet as a whole. Thank you for all your hard work and sharing it with all of us. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us!

Thank you so much for the kind words and support!

I go to work, machine things, then drive home and watch Brandon machine things(only with signifincatly more skill than me). Some might say it's sad, some - weird, but I personally love it. Haven't even finished the video and I can already tell it'll be a great one. Can't wait to see what you've got lined up next for us!

[@InheritanceMachining]

😆 You sound like just about all of us. Once a machinist, always a machinist! Thanks as always, man!

Hey. I watch a ton of craftsman channels, and yours immediately became my favorite! I've binged nearly all your videos on the last few days. Just perfect! Love the length, narration, camera work - just everything. The drafting too! Keep it up!

[@InheritanceMachining]

I really appreciate that! Thank you

These videos are so great because each one is a story. :D

That knurling tool you made is amazing! So satisfying!

[@InheritanceMachining]

😁 It's great! Thanks

A tap follower was one of my first projects in machinists school, many years ago. I still have and use it. It is far simpler than the one you made but that was intentional due to the very real possibility of "evaporation". A surprising number of machinists out in the real world and here in the KZbins don't know what this is, especially considering how simple yet useful a tool this is. I have a favorite ratcheting tap handle that has the proper dimple on the back of it.

Another awesome video. Love the design to make it universal between your machines.

Thanks, Keith!

I just noticed the parallel lines you’ve cut into your triangles to help with spacing your section lines. I did that on all of my triangles. On Architectural drawing the section lines are called pocheing. Hadn’t thought of that in many years.
