Guys who downvoted.... It's a thread RESTORER. Used to poilish up or correct imperfections on an existing internal or external thread. It is not intended to replace a Tap or Die which are used to create the thread, just to clean up an existing one! I've been an engineer twenty years now, and this is one of those useful tips that the older guys used to pass onto us as apprentices. Thumbs up from me!

A good machinist still knows all the tricks!

I'm restoring an old tractor, and in the process I learned the difference between taps and die's and a thread chaser. Damn, now I know how to make one.

Now...Those are the hands of a real Workin Man 😁

I am a machinist all my life. Now 73. I never saw this done before. Much appreciated.

Little gems like this are so simple and yet... So smart and effective.

Very cool and inexpensive hack to renew damaged threads. To those of you who are thinking of this as a tap, it is not. It is a tried and true way of repairing damaged threads. Great video.

Clever and cheap. No need for hardened steel just to chase out threads, however a little oil would probably help. Thanks for the vid and I hope you keep them coming.

You are a dying breed sir, love your creativity.

Great video. I have noticed a lot of comments about it being too soft and not hardened. HE plainly stated it's to restore the thread. A hardened male or female tap would cut distorted or bent threads off, but a softer assembly such as the one he made would reorient the threads into their intended pitch. The addendum of the thread is what would need reoriented. As for the heat not all bolts harden in tensile to a simple heat and quench. Granted, the bolts in this video are not stainless hence the rust they may or may not harden in that fashion since they may be of the wrong carbon content. What this man has done is demonstrate on old machinist technique, and he should be applauded for trying to keep these techniques alive. There are very few people that know how to do this. Cheers.

That is quite good, I have done it myself. I heated them up and dropped them in water which hardened them a bit and it made them a bit more efficient.

Very informative and useful trick... but I think his dad teaching him the trick was the best part of the video.

Very good. That cylinder head bolt would harden and temper perfectly. Cheers Stuart 🇦🇺

Kewl idea. Make your own tap and die. Put a torch to them and drop them in oil to harden them some, so they won't use up, real fast. Greatbidea! Thanks so much for taking the time to make the vid!!!

That is really cool , Thank You

Nice. :) Handy little trick to add to the repertoire.

Good idea, simple production

Now I learned a new repair today. Thank you

Thank you very much. My inspiration is added

Thanks for sharing the video. Keep up the good work.

Thank you that was great. I know, I can use that from time to time. Thanks for sharing with us.

Very Old idea, I'm glad to see someone teaching old school machining. we did this 50 yrs ago in Hickory Ridge Machine Shop Blacksburg, Va. Trubble W

Good on you old boy! Learned something new and costs next to nothing. Please share more!

Super helpful!

Exellent work thanks for the video

Muchas Gracias, muy buen trabajo!!! Saludos desde Argentina!!!

Great idea! I have a "master" thread restore kit and it's missing a couple sizes, now I can make ones to add to it!!

Very good, a bright idea.....

Very good limey!

Beautifull work Congratulations!

Awesome idea 😀👌👌👌👌👌

wow... incredible...very good idea, good video

nice work, I like the antique end wrench

like it very good idea thanks for posting 👍

You made a thread chaser. They are sold everywhere

I'm an instrumentmaker who makes a lot of his own tools, including taps and dies. Great idea about cutting the channels with a drill bit. Keep up the good work- and thanks.

Sir, your an amazing whistle builder.

Practical and useful. Thanks.

great old school trick - thanks for sharing! could have saved me a few times before of buying a special thread cutter

It's a rubbish idea if we're talking metric or another readily available type of thread. It's a fantastic idea if we're talking more exotic threads; so yep: thumbs up!

Brilliant idea who would ever think of something like that I'm amazed 😮

Very good job!... Congratulations, teacher ...

Amazing and simple.

sir this videpo is freaking awesome!!!! thanks so much for teaching all of us this skill

As soon as my wife is finished with the kitchen drill press and vice I'll try this home made invention!

nice idea simple like all good ones

Definitivamente I like it, thumbs up.

Took a sec to figure it out but it's one of them late night fix ideas. That could decide weather you have to work Saturday night.

Excellent merci pour les astuce.

Bonjour à tous, quel astuce svp? Filière et taraud cela existe, non? Je ne vois pas l'intérêt d'un tel objet et encore moins les qui suivent. Bonne journée.

very...Verry good ! bạn quá giỏi...Xứng đáng làm thầy dạy cho tôi.ước gì tôi có được 1 người thầy giống như bạn !

Amazing idea👌

Wow! Bolt's thinking was really creative and cool.

Sir, amazing video, you have reduced my bills on fasteners by nearly 75%.

Great tip! Thank you

Hello,thank’s from 🇧🇷 !! 👍🏻

ВАУ ЭТО ПРОСТО ГЕНИАЛЬНО!

Gotta love a mechanical brain

Really great idea, thanks for sharing! Is it an option to harden the "tools" afterwards? Heating and oilbath?

I not tried. but. I think it's possible.

Great idea if you're ever in a jam and don't have the right size thread. 2 THUMBS UP

Exactly, haters/trolls don't get it, that this is a "thread chaser", not tap and die!

incredibly smart! Thanks for the tip!

Thank you شكرًا

Love amazing use of simple tools that do a sweet job add a voice to you videos be nice to hear your inspirations and method and why said method love to hear people talk about why this way and not that being a production engineer my self

Great idea!!

Круто! А почему не использовались привычные метчик и плашка? В виду не имения под рукой данных инструментов?

Onya!!!!, Mate brilliant idea. Thanks for Your vid, Good job and once again, Thanks also enjoyed background music

Really smart idea that mate, I'm going to try this one out for myself and also do a heat treatment on it as suggested here in the comments. Thanks folks hopefully it'll work out!

Very clever idea thank you for sharing 👍

Certainly the metal will be soft; but remember you aren't cutting a thread, you are merely re-establishing what is probably a slightly damaged or rusted thread.

First time I have come across this idea. Well Done! Don't know if I will get around to making one but I use a lot of 1/2"-13 nuts and bolts that always have a tight spot or too. I either just go with it because sometime the time to clamp and properly turn a die might seem like a chore. I do some off site assembly and this would be quick way to chase a bad nut or screw if extra weren't around. If it is effective. That is why I am curious to drill three holes and find out!

I saved myself a lot of time and went and bought a tap and die set with chasers at the hardware store. Easy peasy

Thank you... for this idea... :)

Not to downgrade this video, because its a great example of making do with what you have, but in my last job before I retired, I would just walk over to the tool crib and get a thread chaser or die. LOL

Amazing!

Boa criatividade e muito útil, Parabéns!!!!

Great idea and simple at the same time which is all it takes

Very,very good my friend!!

Good idea but I just put some wide hacksaw cuts into the end of the bolt. Then oil it and and use that to clean out threads in nuts.

Brilliant!

Would it help it if you fire heat it then quench it in oil

hello

these home made tap and dies are ideal for us woodworkers who may need to add a thread into wood. i make them all the time when i need a specific bolt hole. and to the trolls out there threading a piece of wood and inserting a bolt is extremely solid.

genius !!!!!!!!!!!!

sehr gut! im Bedarfsfall tuts oft aber auch schon eine Eisensäge und ne 3 oder 4kant Feile einfach bissel schräg ins Gewinde sägen etwa 3-4mm tief je nach Schraubendurchmesser dann mit der 3-4Kant Feile kräftig ausfeilen und dann kann man so die Schraube oder Mutter zum nachschneiden des Gewindes nutzen und das auch im Notfall beim Wochenend/Horror/Panik schrauben :-)

Enjoyed the video keep up the good work

Thank you for the video

Author Self-perfection Handsome man of his craft. That's the idea. I have a lot of work at work, now I definitely try to make a left tap on M 16 x 2

Отличная идея!

Please don't bait people with the word "invention" in the description. This is a good idea for those that don't want to buy a die nut or tap, but to call it an invention is stretching it a bit.

Just subbed, as a fitter employed by the worst funded dept in the govt who never has the tools he needs, you've got some great stop gap ideas.

فكرة رائعة ... شكرا لك

So Cool! You just taught me how to make my own tap and dies. I know those who invented this probably think nothing much, but I now see how I can make my own with nuts and bolts. I learned something important today... Thank You So Much !!

nice one..

When you drill into the nuts and bolt, you should have sprinkled a little water to protect the drill tip from overheating. When you run the homemade "threader bolt" through the bad nut you shlould spray a little oil to avoid damaging the good threads; similarly with the threader nuts on a bad bolt. Good job.

FINALMENTE VI ALGUMA COISA UTIL HOJE..TUDO DE BOM!

very cool thanks and very good music to learn by

Good god, and I almost thought it's a DIY threading machine :) Might be useful anyway, Thank You.

hi everybody just look and study his hands years off knolage and hard work

Thanks for sharing this great idea!

Neat idea!

Muito bom...

I think it is very clever and could be useful.
