You Need This Fabrication Tool ... 

Your right. I never did adjust them!

Yeah Milwaukee cordless is a lot less fun at about 8/20, but my drill bits last long enough to get dull

I’m definitely going to order some new taps

Nice!! Thanks for the support I really appreciate it!

It definitely is!

Thanks for the tips man. I appreciate it. The tap that exploded in the video is actually a spiral tap but it must’ve been the wrong type.

Definitely. Thanks for the support, I really appreciate it!

I love this tool too

💯

It’s definitely for making threaded holes!

Thanks for the tip, I’m definitely going to order one and try it out

Came here to say this. Spiral point taps for through holes. Spiral flute taps for blind holes. Adjust your collets for your most common material

@@purplehaggis6335 thanks for the tip

​​@@prestigemanufacturing2611 Use OSG hypro steam oxide spiral point taps for through holes. Excellent, and not very expensive.

Thanks for the support!

Nice!! I’ll have to check that out!

It’s definitely a game changer

Thanks for the tip!! I’m definitely going to try to get some of those taps !

🔥

It definitely is beneficial to have in the shop

Thanks

Spiral tap? lol

😁

😁

💯

It’s horrible 🤦🏻‍♂️

@@prestigemanufacturing2611 Broken screws in a $12,000 marine drive unit. Broken tap to clean it out. Carbide burrs to to remove hardened tap. So much fun. Thank the Father for the maker of Helicoils...

@@bryanst.martin7134 wow!

😀

Kinda depends on the project plans Going cnc how many parts, or just one off parts like a prototype If the plans are just on paper, it could cost more in time and labor the just tapping with this tool. If you have 10k parts to run a good cnc operator and tooling use the dam cnc it depends on the job your doing. I worked in a machine shop years ago the cnc back then had tape readers today its CAD programing doesn't take as long. You can make a lot more money with a cnc running 10k parts then stopping to load one part set up time isn't free.

@@bobbg9041 there's also a cost from having your machinist manually tap threads while the next work piece is in the CNC and have him get exhausted towards the end of the workday and quit the company sooner. Counting seconds is not optimization. It's consultants keeping themselves employed 😉 I would know. Used to be a machinist, I'm about to graduate from business administration 😁 To be fair, comparing to the status quo of things you're 100% correct, but that thinking has gotten us to a situation where pretty much every company makes more profit than ever, still believes they're constantly on the verge of bankruptcy, their only solution to it is screwing over their employees and then "no one wants to work anymore".

Thanks for the info 🙏

Thanks for the support 🙏

The quality blew my mind for the price

No problem. Thanks for the support, I really appreciate it!

😆

Your right 🔥

💯

💯

It’s definitely an awesome tool to have!

What kind of tap are you using for the laser cut holes? Just wondering because they will have lead ins usually that I would think would cause a problem for normal taps

@@Mike-lt6sj I started using spiral taps with a certain tapper and it’s been working great.

@prestigemanufacturing2611 Nice!

😀

I bet it was 😀

It definitely is!

😂😂😂

Yes they are but by the time you pay to get them here they’re about the same as if you just buy them on Amazon or eBay already in the states

@@prestigemanufacturing2611 Yep, but it was quite expensive to buy from Amazon back then.

🤷🏻‍♂️

The one that exploded in the video was actually a $25 spiral flute. Maybe I need to try cutting grease also.

Tap arm😁

Thanks for the tip!

I agree that CNC machine is faster but if you’re doing short runs I think the setup and programming would take longer than making holes and driving and tapping. Thanks for your comment and support!

Totally can do that, but what if you have a huge plate that the mill won’t reach?

Scrap matic is what I call them

It’s an awesome tube for sure!

It’s definitely a great tool to have

Nice!

Yes, it is. If you message them before purchasing just tell them you want US.

Hey. Yes the hole is #7 drill bit and the tap that blew apart was a $25 spiral tap but I have since found a cheaper set of spiral taps that works great and does them in one shot. Thanks for the advice and support. I really appreciate it!

@@prestigemanufacturing2611 no worry's man! i use dormer taps not sure if they sel them where you live but the blue shark taps for stainles they last with my tap machine easly aboven 200holes and thats realy nuts compared to cheap phantom taps for instance. lots of oil and speed keeps them running for ages.

I would like to know too

There’s a link in my description

I say why change what works!

Awesome

If you can afford a CNC machine that’s a great way to do it for sure but a lot of people don’t have the money or space for a machine like us. I think this is a cheaper good option. Thanks for the support I really appreciate it!

@prestigemanufacturing2611 I was more referencing how you said you used to do it on your cnc mill but this was faster? Iunno, even a small mill would likely be faster if you can get the part in the mill.

@@ltsky311 💯

If you’re trying to tap 100 holes with a tap wrench, that would take forever

@@prestigemanufacturing2611 Then use a drill press with a tapmatic tapping head. I thought this tool was a portable 5 axis drilling and tapping machine, that would allow someone to drill a hole at any angle, such as underneath vehicle frames and hard to reach sports, with drill press like force so that the holes can be drilled much quicker than pushing a power drill by hand upside down or similar.

It depends on the job in my opinion. CNC may take longer to set up. Especially if you’re doing a small run it may not be worth it to program the CNC machine to do it and then you have to do your set up. With this machine you lay out your holes, drill them and start tapping immediately. Thanks for the view and support. I really appreciate it!

@@prestigemanufacturing2611 I get that. CNC's can be a pain to set up, especially for small jobs. I used to work in a machine shop and had to tap these support frames with 20+ holes and using a tap arm like yours was terrible. 8 hours a day standing and taping. Once we got it on a CNC it was load in the frames and hit start and go do something else for 15 mins. Everyone of us would take turns swapping them out. I could see how your tap arm would be great for large taps and precision stuff for sure though...:)

@@user-zq6pj5jo8j trust me I love doing CNC work but sometimes manual is faster unfortunately 😆

I’m sure you can but you don’t get a lot of downward force with this arm. When it’s tapping, it actually grabs the material and pulls itself down.

it would be great if there was a mag attachment to solve that@@prestigemanufacturing2611

You are?

Sure if you’ve got a lot of time

It’s a a tap arm 😀

😁

Thanks. I didn’t either until I bought this one lol

Pretty much the same thing for a quarter the price

Your right!

Nice!

Tap arm

Thanks for the support I really appreciate it 🙏

Nope lol

A lot if you have a big job that has a bunch of tap work like I do

🙏

💯

💯

😂😂

Exactly!

💯

Nope 😂

Been a mechanic for 37 years i lost count how much money my hammer has made me

🤷🏻‍♂️

i know it was a smartass comment to get your attention, but in all honesty, anything machine related is cool stuff. I watched a couple of your videos before this one. And by all means if you're trying to become a used machinery dealer that used youtube to market (which is how it appears) then kudos, I hope used machinery dealers never cease to exist. And not trying be a dick, but as someone that has bought multiple used machines, you would be better off diving deeper into discussing technical specs and demos rather than going about it from the approach of dumbing things down and claiming "how much money" something cost & much it COULD make someone else. I totally get the youtube algorithm stuff and trying to get peoples attention, but for actual potential machine buyers, I think you'd fare better with the more traditional approach that comes across as more of a seasoned machinist hitting the important qualities/condition of a machine quickly and with no gimmicky thumbnail, rather than the more "influencer" based approach your stuff comes off as. Personally, if I'm buying a used machine, I want the dealer/owner to know as much if not more about it than I do, rather than like they're just trying to sell me something. Like I said, not trying to be a dick, but just provide some feedback to help your future endeavors man. By all means if you could care less about this input, then feel free to delete my comment and stick to your guns. Will remain subscribed either way. @@prestigemanufacturing2611

@@wolfhausindustries thanks man I appreciate the support

anytime brother, one of these days, not anytime soon though, I will eventually be upgrading from my current cnc knee mill to a proper vmc, there will need to be alot of renovation to expand the shop tho first so I can move my surface grinder to my home shop from where I currently have it at my day job, and would like to get a decent manual lathe before the vmc. Long story short though, I'll add you to the list of used machine dealers I keep up with to see what you've got available when the time comes. @@prestigemanufacturing2611

to much tattos...an his hands... no trust....

You’re about the third person to mention that lol I actually ordered some and I’m going to be using them on my next project. I appreciate the insight and the support.!

Wouldn't spiral taps work on that machine? And why should he throw it away? Is it unsuitable?

If he just used spiral taps, he could tap with his mag drill while it was in position, just after drilling the hole. Much more efficient and intelligent. @@relicboxing
