You are a natural teacher. Thanks for the simple instructions that you show for using a complex tool. Bravo!
no teacher in my school couldve made this as clear as you did, thanks man
Glad it was helpful!
Well Said, I took shop class and didn't learn this. lol
EXCELLENT--simple, clear, and direct. Enjoyable to watch, too. Thank you!
Agree!
T and D has always been an intimidating subject for me for some reason, but your video demystified things and was very clear and straightforward. I look forward to making threads!!
I was one the last generation of kids to take machine, wood , auto, drafting and metal shop classes and I feel it’s sad that kids don’t have them nowadays. I learned so much from them. I worked as a machinist and machine operator for years and have never forgotten the importance of taking those classes. I use a lot of training to diy around the house and my own personal vehicles. This video shows a good technique for the basics homeowner to use.
This is what I needed to find to use the old set I have. Never threaded pipe before and didn't have a clue how to even get started. Thanks for making it simple AND doing it right. Will practice a little before trying to do this on my actual pieces of pipe. Jesus bless.
This is something I was never formally taught either in a classroom or out in the field. I'm a licensed electrician so I only know how to do small stuff like 6/32, 8/ 32, and 1/4 x 20 type material. Thanks for the very helpful video.
I'm not even a mechanic but I enjoyed this random knowledge. This should probably be taught us in school.
Hi. Bought my 1st T and D set from local hardware shop, found your video and set to work......successfully! The big 2 tips I found super helpful were 1: tapering the end of the rod and 2: wd40 as lubricant. Worked a treat. Thanks mate from an autumnal Bournemouth, England.
Glad the video was helpful!
Thanks for the video.
My car seat bolt stripped but followed your instruction and made my first tap die repair
thank you for this. Appreciate your time. I am a carpenter, recently began making guitars... and I never thought I would need a tap and die set for luthiery. That said, I am making my own knobs, and need to put in some hex locks to hold those knobs on. Small thing, but important!! I will get a set and try my luck.
Nice, been about 15 years since I have done any die work. I never learned about a 'Thread Chaser'. Thank You for mentioning that.
That was great instruction! Took all the mystery out of it and had some cool tips and tricks too! Easy to watch... Wisdom is apparent. You're an excellent teacher. Can't wait to watch the other stuff.
Awesome video. I been a tool and die machinist for to long and started as a trainer now. I wanted to show and video for my class and this was and is a great video. Nobody feel asleep which was a bonus like yesterdays class when I was training😅. Well done!
Great video. About to use a die for the first time and appreciate the tips. Thanks!
A wealth of knowledge and experience. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for making this video. My dusty unused tap and dye set I bought in a yard sale (also dusty and unused) thinking it may be handy one day. Fear of using this tool had not given way to courage til today. Your video removed the fear, and my set will not be that guys at yard sale set. I may wear it out. It's a lot of fun to use thanks for informative video.
Excellent introduction video to tap and die use. Thank you
Excellent instruction for a newbie like me. Thanks!
great video thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge
Thanks for filming this-simple but helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
I always wondered how these tools worked. I just began working at a fabrication and machine shop as a labourer but the work is interesting to me
Outstanding and amen on the converting to metric we already measure about 3/4 of our stuff and metric already. Wait a minute there 3/4 metric.
Great, concise video. Thank you
Very informative, thank you for your time👍🏻
Man oh man, awesome tutorial! Keep them coming bro!
Thanks! Will do!
Nicely explained and demonstrated thank you
Great job teaching how to do it.
Very good. I've cut a lot of threads by hand and this is solid advice. Lube is your best friend, use a steady / firm grip and pay close attention to how much force you are using, especially when tapping. Taps are very hard but very brittle and will snap easily if you don't pay attention.
I use split dies which are good on stainless as they cut several passes as you close them in making the harder metals easier to cut but also work great at chasing threads out.
Good video, I learned something new today. So thank you for sharing this information.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you.
This world of tap and die is completely new to me
I recently inherited a t and d set from a relative
You were extremely clear
Greatly spoken I learnt a lot thanks 🙏🏼
OMG! TYSM! EXCELLENT VIDEO! NOW IM GOING TO TRY IT. WISH ME LUCK! 😊
Enjoyed the vid! Hope you make more.
Very knowledgeable video . Thank you 🙏🏽
Glad it was helpful!
Thank for keeping it basic, for us beginners
Thanks for this. I need to make a new hole to hold down my cars battery. This made it clear what I need to do first.
Thank you for the video, you made it easy to understand
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this!
This is outstanding - thank you!
Thank you, sir. God bless 🙌🏽 🙏🏽 your path. I've become this much more smarter, which is a lot. Wisdom brings riches, indeed 😊
You make that look so easy. I can somehow break the tip off an anvil. I can’t stand using taps so I came here for some advice. Anymore I just send the bolt home without treaded holes and it seems to work just as well for me lol
i respect this youtube video alot

Thanks very happy and very helpful ive subscribed all the best from the 🇬🇧
Thanks for the sub!
That was superb!
Great video. I don't have any of those fitted machines to file the end of the bolt, but I'll see what I can do.
What an informative video!
Thanks. Most helpful.
You're welcome!
Wonderful video! Thank you, and you have another sub!
Thanks for mentioning that you should use a particular side of a die. I was wondering why it effed everything up when I flipped it over!
Great video!
i like that old school Black and decker chart. where can i get one of those
What a teacher.
Awesome video boss. 👍👍🔩🔩🔩
5/8-11. Just used it. Tap and die set very handy. Now to decide whether to buy 1" course thread 5/8" bolts or just cut the tubing, flip them around, and bolt them back or cut some old spark plugs..
sublime - Thanks very much
Amazing thanks great job!!!
new subscriber here, thanks for all the good tips
Thanks for the sub!
Thanks a lot Mr. Guy, I’ll sub
Good Stuff. Thanks!
great video i sometimes have to do this at awkward angles on motorbikes a demo on awkward angles would be great.
Really great video!!!
Thank you!
Good job 👏❤
Great video 👍
Thanks 👍
I have used taps before but never a die. I will use some old rods for practice. Thank you!
Glad you guys liked this one.
Awesome! Thanks
If you’re using the die cutter thing to repair a bolt thread that is damaged on the first few mm how do you make sure the newly cut thread lines up with the existing thread further down?
Good stuff
Thank you
I learned a lot thanks
Glad it was helpful!
@@ClassicMotorsports I have been a elevator tech for 42 years I have used die sets . And again I learned something. The young today are missing out on good trade money
Thank you 👍👍
Great video Thank YOu!
Glad you liked it!
This helped so much. I have to tap into my gokart engin so i can add my torqe converter
Hi great video.....I have chipboard screws that are partial thread and I want to make it into full thread ...is there any way I can do it
Good quality video
Great video, but no one ever seems to talk about die stock sizes and the wrenches that fit them. I bought some NPT dies to threat a brass pipe, but I cant for the life of me find a wrench for the dies. The 1/2 inch die that I need is 2 1/8 inches in diameter. It is to big to fit a 2inch die wrench and to small for a 2 1/2 die wrench. Ive never seen a 2 1/8 die wrench though. So whats up with that?
Excellent ty!
Glad the video was helpful.
AWESOME THANKS
Nice1..Classic & thank u
I inherited my great grandfather's set do you know if theres any to old to be using value wise? I dont wanna leave it in the shop if its antique.
What kind of lubricant is that?
Any specific kind I will need I’m tapping into a engine block
It’s my first time using a tap and die…I stripped a bolt hole on my motorcycle. Do I need to drill out the old thread to rethread the hole?
Would have been great if you would have actually provided the chart that gives you the drill sizes for each size tap.
this is canny wicked this tap and die thing like
I’m trying everything and I can’t get it to work. Am I using the wrong kind of metal rods? I’ve tried several different kinds of metal rods and I cannot get it to work.
I'm not an expert at taps, but I seen you put a bevel on the rod for the die, couldn't you also put a bevel at the opening of the hole to make starting the tap easier?
most common taps are tapered
Use bullseye level on top of tap or die handle to achieve vertical.
Marvellous.
For a tapered NPT female thread which ID is relevant for choosing the right drill bit? The narrow or the wider ID? Or maybe take it at half thead?
We would suggest looking for an NPT drill chart because every NPT thread has a specific drill to use.
Where do you buy blank rods at?
round dies do only new threads and the “square” ones are for following ONLY the threads?!
although not recommended, after drilling, i still
use drill for tap
Perfect for plastic, rubber, wood, cooper, and soft steel or aluminum
I keep a magnet in a small plastic bag at the base where the wastes falls. Hate sharp metal bits in my shop
I bought a Tap Die set to try to repair my ebike wheel axle (12mm thread). It's previous owner prob had no torque arm fitted - or he crossthreaded the nut. Is lubricant oil what would make the difference in getting the cut started?. Im also concerned about cutting off-centre and not being able to screw a nut onto the recut thread. Anyone got any tips? (I don't have a vice)
You can use WD40 as the lubricant
Thanks
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Where can we get the chart you referenced?
I am surprised that standard sets don't come with something to assist with alignment.
very good but make it easier on yourself and when drilling when you have tightened the chuck turn it back till you hear a little click this will lock it and it wont let the drill bit spin
