Great video Jon. As a machinist i have had my share of broken taps. I think you could make a whole video on removing broken taps. I worked in a factory for 26 years and we had all kinds of extractors and also an electric tap burner. Right On Jon ! ✌🇺🇸

I am doing 4 holes this morning through a 2.5 in thick block of forged steel. The best part is the tap needed is a 1inx8 tpi I made a tap guide out of 1.5 in thick steel. I'm not worried about the tap breaking as much as I am concerned about if I have the strength to even turn the dang thing ...lol

For tight spots or where the material can't be bought to vise or drill press - use a nut partially threaded on the tap, it will act as mini tapping block. Some wobble, but can be better than freehand. (Not my original idea, but have confirmed it works.)

Do the tapping blocks come in different sizes for different taps? Seems inconvenient to carry a bunch of tapping blocks on a job tho

If the hole is drilled off at an angle it is most important to tap the hole at the same angle as it was drilled. Otherwise the tap will be unequally loaded as it tries to cut through. Increasing the chance of tap breakage.

When I was in the steel business pretty much anything from a number 10 to 3/8 we chucked the spiral tap up an electric hand drill. Probably not the recommended method for most but if you have a good feel for tools it works quite well in a lot of scenarios. Disclaimers: Don't Try This At Home....You'll Likely End Up With A Stack Of Broken Taps.

You develop a "feel" for tapping with an electric drill. I always used a variable speed drill for this, and the newer, better battery operated drills are better than the older corded drills were. We used to need to tap hundreds of holes in the cold rolled (hard!) steel sub-panels for electrical enclosures, and doing this with a hand tap would be ridiculously tedious. Anyhow, after you break a few taps off, you develop a good feel for when to reverse the drill, and how much torque you can apply. I haven't broken a tap off in a long time now. But this is a skill that you have to practice to get the right touch! Buy a handful of taps to have on hand when you start off doing this. Use lube, feel the torque, and wear eye protection.

Don't try it at home? Does that mean I can go somewhere else to do it and it's ok?

Momy Kat no where in sight, never even thought about whether the tap was vertical / str, guess I'm a hack trying to get more skills to achieve better results and less accidents...tanks for sharing, hope all them critters that call your place, "HOME" are safe

I use Tap Magic or wd40 in aluminium. I also tap with a Rohm Chuck in my DP. No tap handle necessary.

@RightOnJonCrane 2 ай бұрын

Right On! 🙌 I do like the WD40 as it doesn’t have that weird tap magic smell 👃😵‍💫 That’s cool you have the Rohm Chuck. I’ve been trying to find out more info on their chucks.

@@RightOnJonCraneIt's a 1/2 keyless Rohm Supra Chuck. It runs super true on a JT taper. Big enough to wrap your hand around for tapping.
