Great video! I'm having a gell of a time trying to find a proper rubber collet for my 30x for a 2-56 tap. Any recommendations?

For anyone watching this nice video, PLEASE NEVER HOLD ANYTHING WITH YOUR HAND WHILE USING A DRILL PRESS...ANYTHING. use a clamp, unless you don't mind a broken or missing hand.

That's really wobbly! Thanks for the demo.

Man I need one of those. Thanks for sharing

Tap-matic is expensive, but definitely worth it. I have never regret spending money for it. It still makes me smile, when you perfectly tap holes. The only way it could be better is to attach it to a burgmaster.

Nice video, we need this tool for automatic tapping machine.

Great Video! I love the Tapmatic 30x - its better than sliced bread. Have you ever used it on a CNC Mill? are there any tricks to using it on a CNC Mill?

No references to the importance of setting the torque clutch. This stops Taps from breaking in blind holes, or hard materials.

at 5:25 it not spinning as straight. Is there a different attachment you have used where its more stable?

@GillianKnives

6 ай бұрын

nah its the same attachment, the tap just got bent by the warped trash piece of titanium I used for the video.

May help if you make a finger hold down. In a vee shape it will help stop lift of the thin metal and will still allow quick tapping . Only has to stop lift so loose is ok . Just what I do for tapping lots of holes. Good luck and thanks

Thanks for the feedback Silverbullet. I’ll definitely consider the finger hold down. Eventually I hope to have a few drill presses permanently setup for various operations, with the tapmatic in one of them, so I’m not loosing so much time with setup, and tear down.

What range if taps does it work with?

@GillianKnives

4 ай бұрын

Thats a great question that I don't have the answer for. I have two different collet sizes for my model 30x, with those two collets (I did not show the collets in the video btw), I know it can tap #80-00, #1-72, #2-56, and #4-40. But I don't know the full extent (read: range) of what it is capable of tapping. As for the #4-40 they break more often that the other sizes. I don't know if that is the limit of the tool, or if my clutch is just incorrectly adjusted. As for the different collet sizes, they are now difficult to find, that increases the range of the tool.

Tell me price?

Have you tried it with blind holes yet ?

For blind holes, I use a single point thread mill, on the CNC mill.

Got one brand new, doesn't have that arm thing sticking out, anyone in the Chicagoland area interested. Selling it.

If you tap any holes much larger you better make sure that the workpiece cannot come up off the table during tap withdrawal or all hell breaks loose along with your tap.

Thanks for your feedback. I usually only use the tapmatic for #1-72, #2-56, and #4-40 If I tap anything larger i usually use a hand tap.

wtf!, i didn't even know these things had a clutch in them been breaking taps at work left and right for 6 years now, guess that's what happens when they offer basically no training and i have to youtube how to do my job. lol, just this week i've broken 4 1/4-20 and 2 10-24.
