Using a tap to cut threads?! I know, crazy, right? But just you watch! In a pinch you can use a smaller tap of the right pitch to thread larger bores than the tap was intended for.

I was working in a music store. We were sent a tympani drum that was missing a few tentioning wing nuts. Was a squarish thread but not Acme. Probably the British Standard Whitworth equivalent. The old gentleman I worked with, who was brilliant, took the better part of a day grinding the tool to cut the threads. I was so lucky to have worked with the man. Though repairing brass and woodwinds, he was a welder, machinist and a tool and die maker. He was 72 when I first met him. I learned so much from the man. He was also a lot of fun to work with. At the end of the day Friday, he'd ask if I had a tooth ache. I'd pretend to hit myself in the mouth with my rawhide mallet and say, "I do now." Then he'd take out the tooth ache medicine, Scotch, and pour a large shot into my coffee mug. One more thing about cutting the threads. We had a big old Boxford lathe. What could be better for cutting BSW threads?

@ajwilson6052 жыл бұрын
@@80gourav Yes.... You still need to set the gears to the pitch you are cutting. Also, on the parts we made there was a large "O" ring groove cut at the bottom of the threaded area. This served 2 purposes, 1.- A groove for a sealing "O" ring, and 2.- A relief for the threading tool to run into. Remember, the threading tool has multiple cutting surfaces.....it's not like a single point tool where you can just stop feeding the tool. You must make sure all the taps cutting surfaces are into the groove before stopping the feed. We modified bottom taps for this specialized purpose. Most had only 3-5 cutting surfaces depending on pitch.

Thanks Tony, with this video I was able to make a part that I couldn't buy. My son salvaged a chinese lathe from the scrap metal bin at his work. It had some problems but since we had it for free I thought I'd have a go. I'm a 60yo novice to machining with my own cheap lathe to work with. Anyway, the biggest hurdle was the spindle pulley nut was missing and I couldn't find a new one. It has a 28 x 1mm inside thread and I don't have the right tools. I do have thread taps though. Long story short, made the part successfully from 12mm steel plate and a home-made tap holder with set screws. From a novice, this is my proudest achievement so far. Thanks again for your advice and encouragement. Love your channel and your style, cheers.

Hi Tony. Great video again! I've used this technique 'the other way around' - with the workpiece stationary and the tap spinning (CNC). It means different sized threaded holes can be machined with the same tap - obv. same pitch thus reducing tool changes! Also if an angle is ground on the 'leading edge' of the tap, similar to a drill bit, the hole can be bored first, then tapped. I believe this is called a 'thriller' (tap and drill-er)

Cool video Tony. This is something new for me to try when the time comes. I do a lot of threading on a lathe. One trick I have picked up is to use a combination of single point and a tap or die. Basically I’ll rough out the threads single point to about 90% finished, then chase the remainder with a die. This eliminates all of the tool pressure when cutting with a die and will give you perfectly clean threads to size (assuming the die is reputable and not import junk). It’s also great for internal threading, especially blind holes. Thanks for your videos!

Love these tips videos. I'm sure it takes 2021 years to come up with each new tip series. Please don't feel like you have to show us something new though. I just love to watch you play. Would love to just watch a ToT live-stream of you cursing at your machinery.

Great tip and I have a an entire new set of taps I was planning on breaking anyway.
@VoidedWarranty3 жыл бұрын
And if you need it for a pitch you don't have a tap for, pick one that's close and grind all the teeth off on that side of the tap except one fully formed tooth
@danl.47433 жыл бұрын
Interesting.
@SouseMouse3 жыл бұрын
Pick one that's a little coarser so the lone tooth is long enough. I once used a 1/4-20 tap this way to make 17/64-26 BSC nuts. It was very spindly as I had to relieve it a lot to fit, so it wasn't an ideal choice but what I had handy.

As usual, I like first so I dont go all crazy binge watching TOT episodes I have seen 10 times. I do want a bumper sticker saying, "TOT taught me to weld". Love your stuff, very informative and entertaining. Got myself some machines, therefore now have more reason to watch all your videos over. Appreciate you Sharing your knowledge.

So I found myself in one of those pinches everybody always warns you about, and I used this trick to make the threads in the collet side of a 5C draw bar for my little Atlas. This is a very useful capability to have in your repertoire.

That's pretty cool I don't know that I would've thought of that. I can appreciate all the effort it takes for you to make the videos as well as you do. With the pandemic going on. I've had to make videos for my students and found that's a lot harder than one would think.
