It's only case hardened. What are you planning to thread ??

[@bodyanich0]

A good idea when you need to urgently cut a thread, but according to the correct sharpening of a thread-cutting tool, the tap must have a backed part, otherwise it is a bolt with grooves))

Хорошая работа.

[@SiliconeSword]

For any future heat treating where you are unable to remove the outer surface afterwards, try using some high temperature paint meant for like 2000F, and paint the thing you are heat treating. This will protect the surface of the metal from becoming rough, and it will be harder as carbon will not seep out, called decarbonization. You could use a gas filled kiln, but that's expensive.

[@howardosborne8647]

Borax made into a paste also helps to keep oxidation to a minimum when torch heating for quench hardening

[@SiliconeSword]

@@howardosborne8647 I find that borax is kind of annoying to get off, and it messes up the bricks and insulation in my foundry, so I don't really use it. I'll have to keep that in mind though.

[@edwarddraper1180]

Sorry, but I would regard this as an emergency tap only, the sort you make and use when something needs to be got working and the correct tap is not available, and I have had to do this to enlarge a damaged1 1/4" BSP taper threaded hole to a sufficient extent to permit the 1 1/2" tap to start. As demonstrated, it works in thin metal, but if you have a deep hole to cut, it will take a large amount of force because there is no relief on the threads. I think I cut about 10 flutes and still had to use a lever about 2m long to turn the tap. Easier to take a high tensile bolt of the right size and use a grinding or cutting disc to make the flutes, if such is available. A real tap has its threads cut (or ground) at a number of settings off centre, to correspond with the number of flutes. Cutting the flutes in the right places then allows relief on the threads (like front clearance on a lathe tool).

[@ellieprice363]

It’s not really a tap. Its just a piece of steel threaded, machined, and heat treated to look like a tap. You could probably clean up damaged threads with it but it would not tap a hole in solid material.

[@samrodian919]

@@ellieprice363 err... did you not watch him tap a hole through a piece of plate steel at least 3/4" 19 mm thick?

[@ellieprice363]

[@howardosborne8647]

@@ellieprice363 Yet you saw that he succesfully cut threads in mild steel with this homemade tap. I have a close friend who is a professional gunsmith and he makes taps from tools steel very often and they always cut a good thread.

[@howardosborne8647]

@@samrodian919 Exactly👍. As i have just mentioned above my gunsmithing friend makes a lot of his own taps from oil hardening tool steel and they all cut very well. He has made a couple of Acme taps for me in the past and they both cut clean threads successfully.

[@lohikarhu734]

And, rotate the chuck counterclockwise, as you cut the flute deeper, to get more relief on one side, and more cutting angle on the other?

One thing I couldn't tell, but did you slightly offset the endmill up/down so that it cut in relief? Or did you do that all post harden with the grinder? Either way, I'm going to steal your lathe milling technique. Lol. Nicely done.

Nice job, but it looked like he took the sharp edge off of two of the three flutes with the hand grinder. It looked like the grinder touched the OD of the tap. I am sure it would work for a while, though, depending on what you are tapping.

[@user-xv6jh3hj7l]

Смысла выставлять фрезу нет никакого, здесь главное что бы передняя плоскость метчика была смещена на определенное растояние от оси метчика что бы получить передний угол 8-- 10 градусов. При даном способе фрезеровки нижний диаметр фрезы должен быть чуть ниже оси шпинделя ток. станка. Когда я работал в инструментальном цехе у нас была таблица в которой указывалось на сколько нужно смести фрезу от оси метчика при определенном диаметре метчика ,что бы получить заданый передний угол. В справочниках есть формула для расчета этого смещения. И обязательно на заборной части метчика нужно делать затыловку, а не только затачивать переднюю поверхность.

Actually, I think that it's a better practice to do the size reduction of the shank as the last phase, so that you are working with the maximum rigidity of the part during the cutting of the thread and flutes... Or, so Joe Pi has taught me...

Threading is a lot easier when you have a reduced diameter section behind the thread. That way you have a bit of leeway when you stop the machine and reverse direction.

[@MrMopar413]

I started watching this and thought you where nuts , but then I started thinking, let’s say you don’t have a metal lathe and milling machine and your in a pinch. Then take a grade 10 bolt and chuck it in a vise and with a couple of mini grinders just cut the flutes in the bolt and be done with it. I don’t know the difference in hardness between a grade 10 bolt and a HSS tap. But maybe for a mechanic in a pinch that needs a real long shank tap to chase treads down deep in a casting might do the job. I’m going to try this on a grade 10 bolt. Also those Allen head bolts are real hard to and they might work also.
