Lyle, don't worry about becoming older & more incompetent because many of use are doing the same and need refreshers from you! ;) I think you did a very good job explaining how this tapping head functions. Also, don't cut out too much of your "chip making" because you think it's boring. You are pretty much, if not, _the_ **original** KZread machine shop channel and we're here to watch and learn about chip making. I learn little things from virtually every machining video I watch here _and_ from other channels too because _every_ Machinist does it his/her own way depending on equipment limitations & skill/training, and even though a particular "project" may be something I'm not interested in, I often pick up a technique or tip that I can use in my own shop. I do the same with "projects" in the Machinist magazines I subscribe to -- I read _every_ article, even though I'd _never_ build most of them, I learn from every one of them and can apply "lessons learned" from many of them, just like I do with KZread Machinist videos.

Great video, I have a Tapmatic SPD-7 mounted on a dedicated drill press,and love it,so convenient. Will be making your float lock vise for this machine,I think it's perfect for this application. Like the cutaway videos.

More amazing is how most of the time the foundation of the thing is so simple you can't help but wonder, "whyb didn't I think of that?". In other words, you explained it very well, as usual. So, you first used a Procunier in 1966? I was born July 3rd 1966. I've said it before, I'll say it many more times, thank you for all of the videos you've made sharing your knowledge and experience!

If you ever decide to revisit this or do something similar, I would recommend putting some dots or vertical lines on the yellow reverse shell, it would make it easier to see which direction it is moving. Same with the output shaft.

Very interesting. Re: American inventor Howard Simpson. "Simpson's preferred gearset was for a three-speed automatic transmission using two identical planetary gearsets in series, linked by a common sun gear." The big three auto makers of the time were not immediately impressed with the invention in 1950 but eventually had to license the gearset for their automatic transmissions. Thank Mr. Pete for getting me me interested in the history of planetary gearsets.

I cant wait to have a tapping head of my own. The video means something to me, because the I have always wanted to know the drive system, and how it reversed without leaving the tap in the hole.

In the 70's I spent hours each month at a drill press watching a similar product thread holes. I figured it was gears and a clutch but couldn't visualize how they worked together. Thanks for the insight, it makes sense now. Nail polish is useful stuff. I keep a bottle of red, black, white and clear in my tiny home shop. The red and black I use to mark battery polarity on things like remote controls and clocks as I find the plus and minus symbols hard to see. The white and clear are good for making and protecting labels. On a side note in a recent vid you had mentioned the plastic model engine kits of years past. While in Wallys' store yesterday I saw a visible V-8 kit in the toy department $19.99. My grand kids probably won't be interested but their grandpa might be. Thanks for the lesson. I try not to miss the extra credit for without it I'd never have graduated high school.

What a great improvement in the design of your cut out from video one . It is much easier to see the works and the color added clarity as well. I am trying to image Mr. Pete standing at the neighbors door trying to explain why he needed to borrow nail polish and especially in a color other than red. Hmm, make the mind go to spinning what the neighbor thought. Then I realized, if they have been you neighbor for a while they'd probably not question you at all. Oh yes, extra credit. You explained it perfectly, as the student that always set in the back row in classes I hated you would have always found me in the front row of the desks as the topics are so well explained.

Dad drug one home back in 1970. It was a no. 2 with a drill press mount. He wacked that part of it off. Luckly, had a no. 2 MT shank so we were able to mount it in the mill we had at the time. Tapped many holes with it. Lone gone, I've picked up a newer one a few years ago, works just as good as the older ones do. Have a no. 1 like yours, I removed the stub shank and made a straight shank for it so I can use it. That thing is noisy! Thanks for sharing. Ken

Very well done. Thank you for all the work you went to to show us.

I've seen many of these over the years but never used one. Tapmatic is what was being used in late 70's and 80's. They were more compact and could be used over the vise on a Bridgeport, but I'm sure you already know that. I like these cutaway videos, the only way to get this kind of perspective in a live setting. ( Hands on)! Thanks for your time and sharing, Mr Pete! Thanks also for sacrificing one of these tappers!

Fine job mr.Pete, look forward to your videos.

I no longer work as a machinist but still have a some what complete machine shop here at home where I spend most of my free time. I believe that we short change our youngsters for removing industrial classes from schools. Thanks for what you do.

Thanks for taking the time to make the cut away, that really helps a guy visualize exactly what is happening inside.

Absolutely fantastic demo and cutaway. Perfect explanation of use!! Thank You.

You did a great job of explaining how it works and the cutaway pulled it all together. Thanks for doing this! I’d love to have a tool like this, hopefully an affordable one will pop up one of these days Thanks again!

Lyle - Excellent video with coffee this morning. This slightly younger than you old retired mechanical engineer liked this - very clear description and good demonstration of a planetary gear system. Will have to send link to my grandson - that is where these videos have great value. I have an old Ettco Emrick tapping head picked up at an auction, have not used it yet. Got looking at the patent for it last evening - slightly different design. Pre 1964 model as tag shows it built in Brooklyn, NY back when NY still had those things called factories. Keep up the good work.

Red is definitely your color Mr. Pete. Well done, expanding the windows was worthwhile. I made a homemade version out of a Versamatic. I modified it to reverse with the motor, rather than having to pull the shaft out. For doing a lot of tapping it comes in handy.

You explained it very well. Thank you, sir.

Never had a clue that these things existed. Keep up the good work because I need all the help I can get for my home shop.

I first used one these in 1981 and fell in love with it. Just like you , I wondered how it worked inside. I knew it had some kind of clutch system because it was so smooth. The most important thing to me was the fact that the torque was determined by the amount of pressure you put on the handle of the drill press. Smaller taps that are easily broken can be easily run in and out a little bit at a time, giving you time to clear chips and apply lubricant. I wish I had the time to build a version of this great tapping head. Thanks for the videos mrpete!

Superb Job! Love all of your "films" right out of the can! 😄😄

You did a good job explaining, keep up the good work and the cut away videos thanks

These 2 videos were terrific. I’ve used these tapping heads for years and only now see how the sensitivity was so delicate, even for large taps. Also, the little lug (weep hole) finally gives up its mysterious purpose. Thanks for all you do!

Thanks, I used one also [ the larger size ] and wondered how they worked as well. Nicely done!

What a great job of explaining and demonstrating in detail how this rather complicated and cleverly designed tool works. I’ve used many different models over the years and always wondered how that reversing mechanism worked. Now I know. I would like to point out one thing. The tap only needs to go through the material once, then back out. Not “double tapped” as shown in the video near the end.

Great video! I never realized that the reverse mechanism was always in gear, and I own two of these. I was under impression that the shaft moved the sun gear into mesh. I didn't realize that reverse shell was always spinning at 2x speed in reverse and that what was moving up and down was the clutch cone. Having a friction clutch in both directions is really nice.

Good job Mr. Pete. Thank you.

Keep the videos coming, the knowledge gained is priceless. And trust me I need all of the help I can get. The men and women of that era where incredible in what they created. They created something from scratch never seen before and not re-inventing the wheel.
