if you want to know the drill size of a tap simply take the od of the tap minus the pitch in exampl 1/2 -13 in tap. half inch is the major od of the tap minus pitch is number 7 drill. To figure the pitch 1 divided by 13 =.0769 -.500=.423 with is pretty much 21/32 it even works with metric and is real easy

Greetings Tulbalcain. Just subscribed and I'm looking forward to picking up some tips and tricks.

That's a very unusal name Tubalcain, might you be a traveling man?

Great video(s)! I'm working my way through them now. I agree on the 'finger type' extractors. Usually when someone breaks a tap, it's because too much torque was applied (chips built up, dull tap, hole too small from worn out drill, etc). If the body of the tap wasn't strong enough to turn it, those tiny little fingers ain't gonna do it either!

yeah its a shame that in todays world you just need a peon to do machining. shops i've been in have 1 guy who knows whats going on and the rest are illegals taught how to start and stop a cnc, if it needs to be stopped. no skill involved with a lot of the new equipment.  but that goes with todays kids where every thing is just a key stroke.

Thanks a lot for these videos. I wish I could take classes for machine shop but everything is CNC these days.
