in my time as a machinist I have broken more taps and drills in aluminum than steel. the idea of a jig of some sort is not a bad one. well done.

I would change only two things. 1. Lead in the base, at least 500g 2. A wheel instead of a bar at the top, a wheel offers far more better control over the tap, especially important for tiny under 3mm taps or, for bottoming taps.

Beautiful workmanship, and as usual watching it come together is a joy, it's actually cathartic.

Excellent, I have wanted one of these for years. Great work. Thank you for sharing.

I like the fixture for drilling the four holes in the bushing, I will be adopting that - thank you. Instead of a sliding bush for the tap guide, a threaded bush with the same pitch as the tapped thread will feed the tap perfectly into the work and deliver even better results, threads that are perfect from the surface of the job down.

I have an old Cast Iron one that was my great uncles, extremely useful.

I have been using this idea for as long as I can remember. I feel like screaming if I see someone tapping a thread and the tap is leaning at an angle which makes a person seasick. You can make a fancy model like the one in the video or you can make it simple and effective. Take a piece of wood and drill a hole thru the size of the tap's shank. Add a spacer below the wooden block if necessary - happy tapping. It works like a charm. Use the same method when using your hand drill when you want to drill something.

Nice work with a nice set of tools/tooling to hand!

Yet again another cool video. Awsome work man

Shows himself power tapping holes with drill and lathe to build a manual hand tapping jig... I get it, its about the journey not the destination.

well how do you think the first tapping tool was made, better yet, th first piece of steel, if you dont have something of one material thats better than the material that you already have, then you gotta use the weaker material to form the stronger one, but slower, and what about motors, the first one was probably hand spooled instead of machine spooled. but yes, you could use other things to make something that may seem like what you could buy, but its uniqe becuase its made by you at pretty much no costs if you already have the materials for it.

He’s limited in taping size with the other tools and you can’t feel when the tap is going to break in harder materials when power tapping that’s why professional shops use internal threading boring bars you have more control that way.

sort of. when you have five hundred small parts like he is shown tapping in the end of the video, its about getting a higher number of parts finished. by hand with a drill and vice is slow and you will eventually trash parts by accident. this tool is pretty cool and you get a great deal of personal satisfaction from making something like this yourself by hand, but you can buy one at harbor freight too..... so yes. making one of these is part journey part destination.

Nice work. Always fun to watch. I'd buy one.

Beautiful work with beautiful tools...

Very nice build! It looks like a good tool

Great job ,I really like your design ,looks really good ,I think I need to make one of those, thanks for sharing

What a brilliant tutorial without any words.

Beautiful. That's made me want to go tap something right now.

Magnificent. Can I suggest ethanol as a lubricant for machining aluminium?

Cool! A very necessary thing for the modelers!

Nicely done! Thanks for the pleasant to watch video. :)

Thanks for yet another great video

Very nice idea. Good work

Well done Johnny!

on the one we have, the top t bar is actually a spring that goes into another handle. this give you a more sensitive feel and lessens the chance of snapping a small tap.

Perhaps something to hold the workpiece would be good? I mean, you could just put a clamp at the bottom. But knowing you, you've probably got something more DIY in mind.

no, since the plunger is not square with the plate (see the wobble) the part has to move to follow the tap...

Nice jig. Thanks for the video.

All that work for a simple threader,great!!

i like the idea behind the project! tipp: you could press the brass pice into the aluminium top. this would save you a lot of time (or use a sliding bushing)

omg. I love your channel so much.

认真好的金工技术! 什么零件都可以造出来! 值得赞!

Really intelligent idea

Looks perfect! The only thing i would change is the chuck. Collets are always more precise.

Nice tool. I want this badly.

Nice video and nice workshop.

Outstanding creation..

That was awesome.

Nicely done. Found myself shouting, "Coolant, coolant", when the cnc router was cutting the aluminum dry. Perhaps a grid of tapped holes in the base and some small goose-neck clamps to hold the work piece or a small toolmaker's vice would be a good evolution for this piece. Subscribed. Would love a small bench lathe for my own shop.

Thats cool. Nice job..!

awesome tool men love it still having a mill i will make one so awesome ^^

Some kind of rubber or silicone surface on the bottom would be nice so the work piece won't be moving! Otherwise a great build!

I think if the piece did not move that tiny bit he could break a tap .. also don't forget what does is small and he is zoomed in so it looks like a lot ..

this is a good Idea!!!

If your shaft to bushing fitment is good, you could machine a small 1/4" hex on the end of the tap handle, above the T handle. That way you can use a electric screw driver with a 1/4"bit holder to power tap without worrying about breaking a tap from wobble (but the bushing clearance must be less than 0.0005" Try it and show us!!

Nice job man

You could add tapped holes to the base to be able to hold parts down like on the cnc router .

Nice idea.. what are the mills you use for cutting aluminum and braas ? And what is the speed and feed rates and the cutting depth ? Does is work ok with the dewalt without cooling? I see that some times you used oil but mostly withou any cooling! Is that right?

Nice job. Would you be able to attach a stepper motor onto that rig to allow for it to become a power tap as well.

I LOVE IT !!!

That one left me wondering: why have you drilled a hole in the steel rod then hammered the chuck shaft into it instead of turning an outside thread on the rod then screw the chuck on? Would be much more stiff and with less chance of wobbling IMO.

On the milling and painting of the font. I would have masked it off with masking tape then milled and painted it. with the nature of working with low viscous paint and masking tape, sanding still be needed, but much less of it. 3 questions. what CNC do you have? Is it easy to use? What are some of the downsides of it?

If you're concerned with material waste, look into one of the secrets of woodwork: dust collection. Keep one bin for each alloy, and you'll be able to reform shaved metal. Another thing you can do is reduce solid waste by cutting the workpiece with a bandsaw or similar before milling it. That's less work for the mill bit too, so it should have a longer working life.

Would you be interested in doing some engraving on some aluminum round bar if I mill a flat on the side for the engraving?

What countersink is that? Looks like it works well without being overly aggressive. A cutting fluid that helps, I've found, with especially drilling/tapping/reaming brass and bronze is Windex believe it or not.

Nice to see the old 4 jaw chuck out on the lathe, not meany people understand the importance of those or how hard they can be to get accurate sometimes.

Your video is osm Good skills Good work And got a subscriber

Nice job 👍👍👍

This guy deservs a mill

Based on the router in the first few seconds I gather you use an x-Carve? What endmills/speeds do you use when cutting aluminum? I've been having some success, but a lot of issues with overheating, melting, drifting, etc.

I have similar idea but instead of making that C-shape frame, I just use the milling machine / drill press to serve the same purpose.

Nice work.

Awesome Idea! That turned out great! Only thing that would make it look better is some anodizing.. I'm trying to figure out an easy way to anodize things myself. I would love to see you do a video on that sometime :P

Ficou perfeito 👍🏻

AMAZING!!!!

I'd add a grid of holes, m4 or m6 to the base so you can use them as stops in case you need a little extra leverage

Really nice job. Where do you get your countersinks?

its it possible to hock up a nitro engine to it and remove the tapper from the chuck and make a little drill press ?

any chance of getting dimensions of the parts for this id like to make one of these

Прекрасная работа!

Hey johnny! Love the video! Whats the worst injury youve gotten while working on one of your projects?

Beautiful looks like clickspring material

This guy is smart enough to know not to use a 4 flute tap under 5/16. You can tell he's been doing this stuff for a while. Pretty good craftsman.

Nice and heavy job! But this bulky stand definitely should be disassemblable.

just made one few months ago ..looks jus like yours except I used extruded aluminum channel .

Very nice design. I replicated it with a few changes although the end result doesn't look as clean as your. I am almost complete but I am having some trouble attaching the chuck to the steel rod. I am assuming this is a 1/4 inch hex on your chuck screw. What is the hole diameter you drilled the rod in order to use the hex driver as a 'punch' to fixate it in the rod? I guess another way would be to thread the rod like the hex driver on the chuck but in my case it measures 6.2mm which is neither 6mm nor 1/4 inch.

Dude where can I find this beat? It's really good and rather relaxing.

Looks great. When you threaded the 90 degree joint on the aluminum pieces, did you make sure to drill out the threads in the narrower piece? It may loosen up if both are threaded.

A useful tool!
