As long as you use torque control on the drill, you should never break the tap ;-) They are much easier to drill out using diamond coated hole saws- kzread.info/dash/bejne/aX53yKeGoqbQmMY.html Thanks for the comment 👍

I tap using a drill almost daily. Ever heard of "GIGO"? It refers to how a machine does exactly what it is supposed to do, and only the user can cause an error. "Garbage In Garbage Out". You don't have any clue what you're doing.

Really great, clear, and informative video! Thanks!

Thank you!! I tried drilling/tapping a whole yesterday, and the spot is so tight I cant fit a tap wrench inside well, which essentially screwed up my work. I've gotten a size larger tap and drill bit, and now I am more confident because I know the drill will fit perfectly. Thanks again!!

nice instructional video you got there :) at work were normally not so carefull when tapping, having the drill in "drill" mode or no torque limit and just go for it .P for holes 16mm and bigger we use taps welded on 1/2" sockets and an impact wrench.

Oh, forget the comment I just made on your video about tapping acrylic, where I talked about using a cordless drill instead of a tap wrench. You're already doing it (as should be expected of an ultimate handy man ;) ). Another good addition: put the cordless drill into a drill stand. No crooked threads that way and applying even (or no) pressure is very easy with it.

Finally someone who knows wtf is up! Thanks man for sharing. Appreciate your knowledge

this is cool one more thing i can add to my shop. it will come in very handy all so great video im getting into fitting stuff up metal and steel work. i really like learning new things im going to check out you channel 5/5 stars

very good video and i like it alot. i also do most of tapping using drill machine same like you.if you will use spiral tap then it would be more fast.they don't stuck like hand tap so you can go all the way without getting back.

Looks like a great way to break a tap.

Don't know why I just didn't fit the two together, I use them all the time!! Well done, I'll have to try this method.

VERY NICELY MADE

THANKS FOR THE VIDEO!!! THIS REALLY HELPED ME TAP HOLES IN A SWINGARM FOR A MOTORCYCLE AND THIS REALLY WORKED!!! GREAT VIDEO BUDDY!!!

i look forward to seeing them and learning new things. i built a forge and bought a anvil. i plan on learning new skills to save money. i think it is good because you can build tools better than you can buy them with higher qulity for about the same price as cheap made tools. it beats trying to find nice older tools 2nd hand and you never know when or if you are going to find the item you are looking for.

What a great idea. Thank you

This is the fastest and reasonably safe way to tap a bar. Slow forward, but fast reverse saves time on multiple holes. Use certain taps where no reverse is needed.

very nice vid! how do you know what size drill bit to use as a pilot?

I drilled and tapped my exhaust on my motorcycle and it worked and everything but I had the drill on the highest setting.. I'm glad it didn't break

If taping a single hole smaller than 6mm on an expensive part, avoid a drill as they may break tap due to human error...With more experience all drill tapping is fine.

Taper, plug, bottom tap....or power drill. I'm trying the drill out tonight!

I use a Dewalt electric drill without torque control. After developing a feel, you know when to reverse. I use it for all my taps.

Thanks Dave mate

cordless drill, or drill press works perfectly to thread, if you're a little carefull :P i tried out our new portable magnet base drill at work the other day. ended up drilling and threading 24 M36 holes with it. at about 8minutes per hole. works quite well, but it's a lot of work drilling with manual feed.

I never knew what the dial was on the drill lol.. now I know its torque control thanks

I also think the taps have some limited ability to self-center if the misalignment is slight. The first ever time I tapped a hole it was by hand and I didn't use a tap guide - and the thread still came out perfect - so if I could do it OK with zero practice then there must be something in the taps themselves to cancel out misalignments regardless of operator skill.

When Tapping a hole in Cast Iron do you use a different method, say for a M12 1.25 Fine thread, only the part on my axle I want to do doesn't have much access/ room, cheers.

would it be okay to use this method for a m8x1.25

I own a Milwaukee speed setting drill should I use same speed exactly as you done?

@ultimatehandyman with a normal sized mag drill you might be able to do M16 maybe M20. i have a video of the machine we have at work threading M36. that machine is the biggest portable mag drill available worldwide. it is capable of drilling 200MM diameter and tapping M52. and we have machine number 1 and 2 :)

Hey ultimatehandyman, How is your success rate with small taps, say M3, or M4. Those are usually the ones I break easily, especially when using a drill.

I would be scared to death of breaking the tap. I always feel like I have more control with a tapping wrench. I have considered getting a tapping chuck for my drill press, but I am not sure if it has enough torque and speed control to drive a tap all the way through in one shot without breaking it.

My concern was when your tapping the hole, the part shifts on you, which could cause it to break. Perhaps a better work holding

had to do this as there wasn't enough room to do it by hand. can't believe it actually worked but its def worth trying when you've got no other options!

No, for a M4 screw you would need a 3.3mm drill bit and a M4 tap, there is a chart on this page for drilling and tapping sizes- www.ultimatehandyman.co.uk/how-to/metalworking/tap-and-die I would not use such small taps in a drill though, as they are easy to break. Thanks for the comment 👍
