Tapping on Lathe.wmv

[zultron]

@fiatnutz, "The question is good, I just hate..." is a run-on sentence. :P

[KXrhyder547]

Not recommended for very tough/ hard materials, but looks like a time saver for those softer parts. Get too greedy with the speed tho, and you'll lose some production time when that tap breaks on you. Good vids!

[peakcur]

Not bad, but can be done better!

[fiatnutz]

Been there - done that...

[IThurts2J1zz]

Do you think you could make a similar one to hold a dye?

[fiatnutz]

@IThurts2J1zz - Learn to spell... die is a cutting tool; dye is a coloring agent

[IThurts2J1zz]

@fiatnutz goddamn my bad. sorry for asking a simple question i didn't know you were a English teacher

[fiatnutz]

@IThurts2J1zz - The question is good, I just hate the way our schools have let the English language get so slaughtered with text-speak and kids not knowing how to use a dictionary, and yes I did teach in the classroom for over 15 years.

[IThurts2J1zz]

@fiatnutz well in school all we learn is blueprints and how to physically work with the machines and tools and such. Iv just never seen the word written. I assumed it was spelled dye because die didn't seem right for the name of a tool.

[zapwatt]

@IThurts2J1zz No excuse IThurts2J1zz. If you are an ESL student then you had to take English 101 and English 110 before taking any class with blueprints or else have scored very highly on an entrance exam. If you are NOT an ESL student then you deserve every word from Mr. Edwards and a few from myself as well. Don't cop an attitude if you cannot come correct. Learn to proofread what you write.

@zapwatt Im a junior in high school + dont give a shit

[zapwatt]

@IThurts2J1zz

"Im a junior in high school + dont give a shit"<--------:

A) shame on you. By Jr high I had been taught well how to read, write and proofread, as were you. If you are a highschool jr then you are damn near college aged, get your shit together kiddo.

B) yes, it is very evident that you don't give a shit. Good luck with college.

[fiatnutz]

@IThurts2J1zz - Learn how to spell dude - dye is a coloring agent - die is a cutting tool.

g'day john. i hope you don't take any offense to this but without the "old guys" like you that have been around for a while, that actually know how to do this stuff... us younger blokes would be screwed! you just don't get this info from a book! thanks again mate!

[fiatnutz]

@lpgas1 Non taken, This is the only way that I can pass my knowlege on to you young turks, except may if you buy my books, then you have it in hard copy. Cheers...

If your Tailstock isn't to much off center, you could also mount the Tap to a drill chuck. Don't clamp the tailstock to the bedways, 100rpm, oil it up and let it pull itself into the piece while pushing the tailstock body slightly. Also works great. I always love John's Videos.
