Wow...... what a great video. I’m looking forward to binge watching everything you have posted over the holidays. Joel......

I have made one of these and I love it. This is a great tool, needed one for years. Thank you for sharing.

I really really like the tap holder side. What a great idea. It seems like I’ve been waiting for you to start/finish this project...well...it’s been awhile.

It's really nice for small taps as once you hit the bottom of the hole you just let go and shut the lathe off. Yes I've had this video laying around for awhile.

Well after 15 episodes of drinking beer and talking about it you now have one. Congratulations. Very well put together video enjoyed it.

Just watched this again. I sure miss your KZread videos. I don't know why you stopped making them, but I sure do miss seeing your creative and entertaining videos. Please reply to this comment and let us know. Thanks.

Awesome, very neat job. If I had chance to make one for my self I will make a key on the shaft instead of the handle .thanks for sharing.

I don't think I'd key the shaft though. Allowing the body to rotate is a primary design function.

Thanks Aaron! I'm just focused on producing decent content.

Nice design, I may make one. 😀 I noted that you use aluminum as a protection against scoring the work. That works very well, I have used it as well, but since then I cut some leather strip's about three inches long for my mini lathe and sewed the ends together. Now all I do is place them in my chuck and I'm good to go. It may be a little tricky to get the jaws tight enough on independent adjusting jaws, but for me it works. I just don't know for how long.

Great idea!' Got to make one.. Thanks

4:06 What? Between centers without lathe dog? Impressed…

Love that holder with the collett, that's the deal breaker, I'm going too do some LATHE WORK, any excuse to work in the small machine shop. Thankx

you are very talented Sir. thanks. also what is soundtrack name?

How are you driving the work when you're turning between centers for the arbor? I don't see a lathe dog. Does the headstock center have something that bites into the work? Awesome project, by the way. I was rewatching the video because I'm starting to build one for myself.

@Alireza9900

I think the headstock center is just plain dead center but since he's only taking light cuts the work piece doesn't stop turning. It's just friction I think...

Look at the way you ve sharpen your lathe tool, your lathe must be very strong.

How do you manage any misalignment between the tap and the piece to be threaded ?

Hi there I would to buy one of die holder please with 16 mm die .can I use it with ratchet spanner?

Excellent video! It might be an idea to look at the audio levels when you have your lathe running though. Probably not a big deal unless you are listening through headphones, but the lathe volume made me turn down the audio and then I really couldn't hear the narration or the music.

Very nice. Half a day! That would take me at least have a week, if not 2 weeks. Do you have a link for that cad program? Looks a lot better then that LibreCad program I've been trying.

Autodesk Fusion. I paid for the ultimate version - but you can use it for free for hobby work. Only bad thing is it doesn't run on Linux.

If you don’t mind. What is your blog so I can download the plans for this ? Thank you.

Is it possible to turn between centers without using a lathe dog?

Most excellent! Do you find that the set screws hold it well enough? Meaning, in the dies I have there are two dimples 180 degrees apart that the screws on the die holder lock in to. The holder I bought has them 180 to match. Black ops fund, I've heard that before. :-) Nice subliminal subscribe message too.

@chrisj4570g

thecogwheel my (former) concern with making one was laying out those set screw holes. Making them 180 apart is easy enough, and in theory making them center of the die front to back should be easy, but my thought was that if I or the die was off, I could push it out of alignment. Anyhow, the er collet system has me curious on some other projects.

What's the outcome if one is full Dutch, and wait, you can see me?!? :) Really nice project. I've been using a rigidly mounted die holder and turning the chuck, but your holder would be much nicer to use.

Thanks Andy. This was filmed with several cameras actually. Currently I'm using an older Olympus PEN mini and using EOS lenses. I've also used a lower end Sony HD video camera. My lighting isn't great but you need lots of it.

How to this vise

When cutting threads, it helps to clean the drill of chips and oil it beforehand, as in this video kzread.info/dash/bejne/iq1-w6Z-psLeabw.html
