tapping guide thingy

(1/3) > >>

jim:
well i've made it!

and a selection of collets to fit a few taps


you put the plain dia shaft in the drill chuck after drilling the hole, the tap is then exactly inline with the hole!
then i'll just start the thread by turing the body.

i got the idea after using one of the die holders on my lathe.




what do we think :scratch: :scratch:

Darren:
I think it looks good, looks easy to use, looks like it will make threads perfectly in line......brill...... :clap:

sbwhart:
Nice one  :thumbup:

Have you used hex bar for the body ?

Have fun

Stew

jim:

thanks for the feed back.

yes the body is hex bar 1" , theory being i could use a spanner if need be!

only disadvantage is i'll run out of room on my mill with the drill chuck on bigger jobs, i'll have to hold it a morse collet then.

i was going to harden the collets, but it'll be another of them jobs that don't get done :D

CrewCab:
Nice job Jim :thumbup:
