A good tip my father taught me is to put the tap in your pocket well before starting the job, so that it is warm and will be less liable to snap.

Thank you for this instructional video, I bought a couple taps and a few hex dies. Came across this video cause I needed to know which side of the hex die I put into the die stock, and I got a lot of useful tips and information on how to properly use this tool. Can any kind of lubricant like 3-in-1 oil work if you don't have tapping fluid?

I mainly use these to repair/clean threads. I had to do an M22x1.5 and the end was mushroomed, the nuts would fit on the other axle. I had to buy a new set as my current one topped out at M16/M18. Getting that thread recovered meant I had to reverse the tools. I held and turned the part while keeping the handle still. Luckily for me the part was a drive shaft and had didn't matter if I was bending it as the bottom part with the threads was being kept still regardless. 2 hours later and that nut went on nicely, then I did the nuts. Even better.

@gregdobson6452 3 года назад

Thanks for a great video . I have always thought that you were meant to use all 3 taps Taper then Plug followed by Bottom , so I have learnt something . I have a question regarding Split Dies , the type with a screw either side of the split in the die . Am I right assuming that the screws are for closing up the Die and adjusting the depth of cut ? . Also when I used to sell Tap and Die sets they were either Carbon Steel or Tungsten Steel which was more expensive . So is HSS the new name for Tungsten .

@JohnHumphrey 3 года назад

This was great and is a popular vid for the subject of taps and dies. My question is about tap wrenches and die stocks. How do you know which one to buy? How many sizes are there? I recently purchased a couple of very fine thread dies. I knew I'd need a die stock so I bought a kit. But the dies in the kit were much smaller than the die I had bought separately. I've watched a bunch of videos but I don't see anyone explaining how to match the appropriate die stock/wrench to the die/tap. There seem to be a lot of different sizes!
