    After watching your video I went to Walmart and bought three pry bars, ordered carbide from Amazon and received the carbide today. I worked in machine shop for over twenty + years and I’ll be making wood lathes tools real soon. Thanks for the video.

    Just a little tip that I found to be helpful. Use your drill press to start the tiny taps. After drilling the proper sized hole, chuck the tap in the drill chuck and slowly turn the chuck clockwise by hand until you get a half to a full turn into the hole. This keeps the tap perpendicular to the hole. Then use the tap handle to finish tapping the hole as usual. I broke two taps before I came up with this trick.

      An old machinist buddy showed me the same trick. Personally, I like the challenge of doing it by hand, because in my line of work, you don't always have a workpiece that is mobile, but when I can start a tap with a drill press it does make things a bit easier.

      You can buy cans of propane, butane, or MAPP gas here and swap out the torch head. Any will work, MAPP gas is suppose to burn the hottest. Hopefully yall have something similar over there. Oxy/ace torch would work as well

      If orientated to the left it shouldn't be an issue, kinda like a shallow swan neck. But you definitely wouldnt want to it to be angled upwards as it would just cause ur carbide to catch and dig in constantly I would imagine.

    Hi, could you put the tap in the drill press and tap it or would it run too fast?

    • @RatedRWoodturning
      @RatedRWoodturning  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Short answer no... not unless you have a special tapping head which are crazy expensive. You gotta be able to reverse the tap to break the chip as you go. But i have seen people put the bit in the chuck and turn it by hand to ensure they get started straight. I have tried it but so far prefer by hand unless its super critical to get it perfect. They do have some drills that drill and tap at the same time but I have never tried one in a drill press.

      Too simple... drill the hole on the drill press...Chuck the tap in the chuck on the round smooth shank of the tap...ignore the square entirely...Just fun the drill press slow and when the tap stops it will just slip in the chuck...

    Brad. How would I harden the steel again after it’s finished? Is there a concern of the steel breaking?

    • @RatedRWoodturning
      @RatedRWoodturning  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      U would have to look deeper into what type of metal it is to figure out how to harden and temper it. As far as I know, but im no expert. It hasnt been an issue with the other tool I made with the green handle so i honestly wouldnt worry about it. Still gonna be plenty strong for what we are doing with the tool

    • @admin8446
      @admin8446 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'd think the annealed metal is less likely to break than hardened and more likely to bend. That being said, a half inch alloy or even high carbon steel will not break or bend unless you're trying to screw things up.

    Nice job Brad. Only one sarcastic comment, as is written on your T-shirt. You were talking about safety but, at the video beginning, you are using the grinder without the safety guard. A novice worker can copy the technique and the result could be different.

  • @taiwanluthiers
    @taiwanluthiers 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Actually you don't want cheap taps, because they suck and break at the slightest incorrect use, not to mention some of those cheap taps weren't even hardened, so it wouldn't cut through steel at all (I had a set like this). I'm not saying Chinese taps are bad because I use them, but get ones used for CNC, a little more expensive than the harbor freight tap but a much better tap. These you can actually power drive them (some have a spiral tip that is great for through holes which shoots the chips out the other side of the hole, and the spiral one is good for blind holes). For some of the smaller tap I just chuck it into a drill and use that to tap stuff... I deliberately chucked it a bit loose to prevent breakage.
