A real beaut Tony. Your post over at homemade tools inspired me to make a mt2 drill press conversion using an r8 - mt2 adapter.
Would you share some vids of your frame building jigs?

[@geewillikers5342]

@motochassis Excellent, always inpired by your posts on that forum. I will post a vid of my attempt at your drill press... I am guessing it is the other (non-tapping) drill press in your video? Shame about no pics of your setup, I have your book and love it.

I have no pix nor videos of the jigs. I stopped making chassis as a business in 1987.

@@geewillikers5342,
A little while ago I some frame building stuff on my instructables page at www.instructables.com/member/tonyfoale/instructables/

Hi Tony, at 4:07 you show a tap guide holding a pretty large tap. Did you make your own collet? I'm trying to tap a 6mm hole in an awkward situation but the standard split collet just won't grip the tap head. Thx in advance for any suggestions.

[@MotoChassisByTonyFoale]

Patrick,
The collets in the tap holders are just standard square holding collets. Large taps or small I have never had any problems holding them. The tap holder in that part of the video comes with two pairs of collets to fit small and large taps.

@@MotoChassisByTonyFoale Thanks...I'm going to have another go.
