Thanks for this, I have 240 holes to tap and wanted to make sure I was doing it right. Your tutorial was clear, concise and easy to follow - Nicely done!! :-)

Thanks for making this video and not talking down to the audience!

I'm glad I watched this. Most people just thread these small ones by just keeping turning but when I use my 1/2" dice I always go back to break the chips. So, here it's the same making your tools stay better for a longer period of time. Ty

That voice is completely hypnotic. I think I'd buy a used car from this guy sight unseen

This by far is the best video for my situation. Lots of well stated information packed in a short video. I am retaping a drain hole in a water pump. It rusted smooth so I need to go one size up from 1/4 to 3/8 npt. I got a npt tap, a 37/64 drill bit, and the 3\8 plug. I don't have a tap wrench but I do have a ratchet that fits. Thank you for the information!

Thank you for this video. Your clear and comprehensive explanation of how to use a plug style tap demonstrates a caring for the trade and the people interested in learning it.

I learned how to tap while working at a fabrication shop when I was 18. He’s spot on and it’s been pretty useful while doing fab or repair work.

Wow - great explanation - demonstration and video. A born teacher - I learned far more in that short video than I have from many other sources. Thank you - excellent!

Thank you, Its always better when you find a video by someone that has experience.

Great video. Short, simple, and to the point. Just what I needed.

The manufacturer recommends them for cutting new threads and they work very well for that. all of the cutting dies I have ownd that were designed for hand use were shaped with the hex or a rond shape that fit the die handles. I also own a set of cleanup dies and they look more like a large wheen lug nut.

Excellent vid. Clear and concise and easy to follow. Thanks mate.

Great pace, tone and great content ... didn't waste any time going through the processes and explaining them thoroughly.

Perfectly executed. Both demo and explanations. Thank you.

There are spoecial "bottoming taps" that cut threads all the way to the bottom. Usually you start the threading with a normal tapered tap, then change to the bottoming tap to finish the threads. the tapered tap just makes it easier to get the threads started.

this guy has a voice made for videos like this!! one of the cleanest and most fluent videos ever lol

i had a big issue with my intake manifold. didnt know how to fix it after watching this video ti was easy, very helpful. keep the tips coming. thank you.

Incredibly insightful and straight shooting. I will be applying this very soon

Wow, That has to be one of the best instructional videos on KZread! Thanks!

I know people use just about any kind of oil they can find to help tapping and it might actually help a little but true tap oil is the real key here. Even if you have to order it in, it;s not expensive and goes a long way if you use it sparingly as you should anyway.

Usually someone dies and then they play taps.

forget about the oil or tapping grease. i always use wd40 spray.1 can does 10 times the work of both at a fraction of the cost and cuts better.

This was a great instructional for a new metal worker such as me. I only have cheap hardenened steel taps but they are making nice cuts.....I would like to buy a better set, but tools are expensive as you know. I will eventually buy carbide taps when I can afford such tools, until then I will plod on. Thank you for the great video :-)

Great Video NewMetalWorker!

Most helpful video on this out there. Thanks!

Please realize that a metric size tap will be one of three different thread pitches to accomidate the three different metric screw types "coarse, fine and extra fine" these are not interchangeble and you need to be aware of which you have. I just made a drill tap for a 4mm screw using a tap set from ebay, It tapped well enough but the 4mm screw I had did'nt screw in correctly i.e. it would thread in about 1&1/2 turns and stop which is the signal that you have the wrong thread and forcing will result in stripping the screw or worse your tap! I had to go to a hardware store and search for a screw with the correct thread pitch which was extra fine but to make matters more confusing there were some screws marked 0.7 that would fit and others marked 0.7 that would'nt so you really have to try several screws to find cinderellas slipper.

When tapping harder material, break the chips more often, also, Vaseline helps hold the chips in the tap for removal.

Really great informative video always wondered how this works

I own an old school tap and die set, somewhere. Never used it, now I want to lol.

Thank you for this excellent no frills video.

I read someplace that Elvis was a roller skate car hop in Michigan now.... That proceedure you read about might be right for a special type of thread but for most common threads the one tap does the job.

Thank you for this information. I have a problem with a broken bolt that I'm drilling out. it's on the transmission where the tail shaft goes. Transmission is still in the car and it's the upper right bolt. Very tight area. I don't think I'll be able to use the tap/die with the big handle in this tight area. Any other ideas for rethreading this? Or another way to use the tool without the wide handle?

Great vid. Was first hit on google and now I know what's up!

Wow amazing, brilliant explanation.

I enjoyed your video. You shared a lot of good information.

I like how you get to the point.

Awesome vid, quick question, let's say I make a thread right, how do u calculate what torque the bolt should be bolted in next?

Wonderful demonstration. Thank you.

Hi great video, what is the smallest Tap and Die available? and can they be used on plastics down to a M2 or M1.4 thread ?

Awesome video! Very helpful 😃

OK so 99.9% of all taps, YES, bottom taps have at least 1 or 2 tapered threads at the nose. Tapered threads are no good when your dealing with a shallow blind hole. I used a regular bottom tap as far as I could then I used a cutting wheel and cut the tapered end off of the tap. It handled the heat of the cutting wheel fine. I the ran the tap back in the hole without the tapper, to achieve a perfect 1/2-20 thread in a 3/4 inch deep blind hole. Thank you.

good info, trying to figure out why I cant get screws to go back into my water pump on a Camry, maybe I gotta tap them again.

I have a tap & die set & when I used it, my tap was ground down by the metal. I don't know if my set works on certain metals. (it didn't say) Do I have to find a stronger tap?

very clear and instructive, thanks alot.

I wonder what a quality brand of taps would be ? I need to tap some 1/4” holes in 1/4” mild steel . Whether or not 1/4” thick steel is going to have any strength being that this is another question. I may have to weld a bolt on . This will be done on bumper plate racks for my home gym

so cool! who ever invented this was a genius!

Can you use any spray lubricant or something, I don't have the Tap oil, I think it's engine oil, I use it to lube my bike chain? So would it help the tap to cut? Thanks

If I have a 3/4 hole what size tap do I order. I was never clear on that subject.

He sounds like a very hardworking blue collar, smart man , respect

These days I only use "Gun taps" They are actually designed for machine tapping and are more difficult to keep square.However, there is no need to keep backing off to break the chips because they are pushed down the hole by the tap, regardless of the depth of the thread.I've actually thrown away brand new conventional taps when replaced with gun taps. There is absolutely no comparison between the two. It will change your tapping world!

Thank you. You just saved me some money!

i really like tapping and screwing... we did a lot in the shop class i took...

Really enjoyed the video. Where can one get a tap & die to create a 1 mm hole?

Awesome video nice and to the point. Thank you.

Awesome, great info thanks for this!

Do you think that i could make an 10mm long thread on a 16mm diameter steinless steel shaft with a die?I cannot find a lathe for now..

thank you. saved the day.

lovely presentation

great video! like most of yours.

What sized tap do I use to put an internal thread in a 1 inch diameter brass pipe nipple for a hot water tank?

Exactly what type of tap is needed for 1 1/2" cast iron pipe ?? Some of the threads were damaged while removing the nipple from the drain. Your experience is appreciated.

Finally! An easy question! Lombardi, of course!

Great vid and info!

what size of drill bit should I use to tap a m4 bolt

Is it ok to pass over the threads multiple times without causing the bolts to become loose from removing too much material?

Man this guy should go check out hank hill he would be a fan

very helpful. thanks for taking the time.
