Cleveland taps. I got all mine used from my dad. They’re 40 years old at best and still sharp as a tac.
Gday, I have a big selection of whit worth taps that are really old and there still really sharp, definitely much better quality back then mate, Thanks for watching, Cheers
28:26 Man I can relate to that. Thankfully I tend to do that when the camera isn't running :)
Its a common thing in my workshop mate...
best part is you show us that we all make mistakes. i just tell myself it is practice, for when a friend makes one and needs advice as to how to fix...lol
Gday Paul, I don’t hide mistakes, it can help other to not do the same, im only human mate, thanks for watching, cheers
Great addition to the shop Matty, not an easy build.
If i may comment, piston rod material generally comes in 3 flavours, AISI 1045 with thin hardened chrome 0.1 to 0.2mm deep, AISI 1045 induction hardened to a depth of 1 to 4mm ( thicker on bigger diameters), then hard chrome, AISI 4140 induction hardened 1 to 4mm, and hard chrome. Generally, if the rod is exposed to harsh environments, it is induction hardened.
Nice machining.
Thanks for sharing.
Gday, thanks for the information on materials, It definitely had a thick layer thats for sure mate, Thanks for watching, cheers
Good afternoon Matty, my name is Brian and Karen and Curtis from Cutting Edge Engineering. I really enjoy watching you, and your work as well as your honesty. I saw your "rust" issue video. I am very, very grateful to see that they were able to catch it in its "early" stages. I pray that the rust removalntreatments are doing exactly thar, and that it isnt taking a big toll on you physically and you are to do what you truly enjoy. I have begun and will continue to pray for you and your family daily. Keep your head up and continue to kick its a$$. Much love n prayers from upstate NY, USA.🙏💜
Gday Brain, thank you for your kind words, it’s going to be a long road but I’m prepared for the drive and definitely going to give it all I’ve got to beat this, the support we have received from the YT community is very humbling and I cannot thank everyone enough, thanks again mate, cheers
It’s so cool that you’re building your own tools. Quite often you see people making fixtures or jigs but not the tooling like your are here and for the grease ram that you made last video.
Gday, it’s easy to buy all the tools but there’s no fun in that and it’s expensive, much more enjoyable making what you need, appreciate you watching, cheers
Good idea to have the 26mm stub arbor. I had to change from MT3 to R8 on my tooling when I got the Bridgeport. We were supplied with P&N or Sutton taps and dies in the schools. There was a policy to use Australian made stuff back then. They were nice tools but quite expensive now.
Gday Preso, I not sure what the future holds when it comes to machines, Hopefully a nice Bridgeport style mill one day, Thanks for watching mate, Cheers
Bluepoint Taps, got them 35 years ago, still sharp
Cheers
Gday Rick, you definitely got good taps there mate, hang onto them, thanks for watching, cheers
Looking great Matty. I use Sutton or P&N drills/taps when I can. All the commonly used taps in my tap and die set have been replaced with Sutton. I don:t use many dies though.
Gday Craig, Thanks again for your help with this build, I have a big kinchrome set of taps and dies and honestly there better then the bordo, Thanks for watching mate, Cheers
@@MattysWorkshop you're welcome. Glad I could be of some use for a change 😂
I bought a set of metric taps & dies by Volkel German made. Came as a set in a nice box (tin) 3mm to 10mm 3 of each + one die each size. So far they have been great. They are H.S.S. Was told to keep away from Carbon steel ones by a pro. Also have lots of imperial taps & dies which are all British made & very old buy very good. I also think Dormer & Presto do good ones too. Great work on the boring head.
Regards.
Steve.
Gday Steve, im going to have to do a fair bit of research and buy some decent quality mate, thanks for watching, cheers
Good work, Jimmy 👍🏼
Cheers Matty, Off to a real nice start...That pin material gives a nice finish. Don't worry about a couple goof up's we've all been there. Most of my taps are Greenfield, Morse and Cleveland. I try to stick to the spiral tip or fluted, night and day difference compared to a standard tap.
ATB.....
Gday Dean, making mistakes is pretty common in my workshop mate, I’ve got some serious homework to do on finding some quality taps and a decent price, thanks for watching mate, cheers
Hi Matty.
A few tips to use if you want to.
It is usually better to cut through case hardening slowly in one pass, this saves the tip corner when taking multiple shallow passes.
Holding the round part in the mill vice will be significantly more stable with two vee blocks. 4 equidistant clamping faces instead of 3 unequal faces, and less marking..
A simple way to cut matching dovetails without any maths is to use pins with a diameter of 1/3rd of the dovetail depth. The distance will be the same over the male and female parts. ( 60 degrees only ).
Thanks for the tips, cheers
a buttress thread ! now that sounds interesting,, waiting for that one. as for the taps etc. it is very hard to avoid the cheap imports even if they have Pand N stamped on them . i have a supply of old taps and dies and drills that i keep sharpening when needed. (if and when i buy new ones , it's a worry) cheers mate
Gday Graedon, I’m really not looking forward to the buttress thread job at all mate, it’s going to be interesting, thanks for watching mate, cheers
Sutton taps. Well worth the money.
Thanks John, im going to have to sweet talk the wife I think mate, thanks for watching, cheers
That's an impressive chunk of metal Matty. I didn't even notice the boring head inside. Great project looking forward to the next stage. Cheers Mate, Nobby
Gday Knobby, it hidden in there somewhere mate and I think I found it, thanks for watching, cheers
The joys of mystery steel!
Adit: as for the taps, I'm in the same boat. Bordo taps, I try to get the blue band ones intended for stainless, they seem to survive a bit better.
Gday, Im really over the bored taps, i've been caught far to many times now, I don't think the local shop have the taps with the blue bands, Thanks for watching mate, Cheers
@@MattysWorkshop yeah, the blue band ones usually need to be ordered in. They're the only ones I'll trust in gummy shite like SS or Ti.
Good stuff as always Matty. Can’t wait to see the buttress thread, as there may be one in my future as well. Quite intimidating for me as an amateur.
Gday, Im really not looking forward to that buttress thread, Its going to be a nightmare I think, Thanks for watching, Cheers
Enjoyed these 3 videos Matty. Lovely quality boring head. I think maybe your too hard on yourself in relation to the clearance around the dial.
I could live with the result you achieved any day of the week.
As always keep up the good work. 👍👍👍🇦🇺
Gday Ian, great to hear you enjoyed the videos mate, I like to get things right and if it’s not then I need to do a better job, thanks for watching, cheers
No mistakes here, just roughing cuts, and testing the bits performance in this specific material, part is in spec and looks great, no worries mate, just experienced judgement after the facts happen. Normal day in the shop. Good day mate, great Job!
Gday, that’s a great way of putting it mate, I like it, cheers
Good one Matty . That little lathe will mow through induction hardened bar no worries . I would not recommend it though , with an un modified apron drive ! Cheers . 👍
Gday Max, I'll get in touch when I need some advice on the modification mate, Thanks for watching , Cheers
Greenfield taps for me. Great work on the boring head!
Thanks very much, appreciate you watching, cheers
Fun times as always; I look forward to following in your path to make one of these of my own.
Gday Jim, Definitely make yourself a boring head, Really there not to hard to make and if I can make it you can to, Thanks for watching mate, Cheers
Great work Matty thanks mate.
Thanks very much mate, cheers
As usual, nice work.
Thanks very much Darren, appreciate you watching and commenting, Cheers
Well done mate 🎉
Thanks mate, You'll have to make one as well, Thanks for watching, Cheers
Another nice outcome, you are truly a man after my own heart Matty, Plans, Drawings, what are they and why do you need them. A good 99% of what I make comes straight *from my head,* I sometimes joke about designing things in what is a bit of a piss-take on Fusion 360 and say I designed it in *Confusion 24/7* In regard to taps, I exclusively use spiral fluted plug taps and I have only managed to break 1 so far, and it was an M6 that was getting a little blunt after tapping maybe a 100 holes with it. I did manage to find some Aussie Sutton taps from a supplier over here in Bangkok, but they weren't cheap, and I have since found a supplier of Japanese-made taps that are pretty good and a bit cheaper than the Sutton taps. The only exception is when I buy taps and dies that I think may never get used again, and I buy cheap Chinese crap and end up regretting it. Anyhoo, keep up the good work and good luck cutting that Buttress thread 👍
Gday, making things on the run keeps its interesting and makes you think a lot more about problem solving, Good quality taps and dies have a big price tag and im finding I will have to just bite bullet soon and buy once cry once, Thanks for watching mate, cheers
G'day Matty great video from start to finish. You made it look so easy , & yet we know how much work there really is. Waiting to see the next Installment.
Gday Ted, I reckon you should make a boring head mate, there’s a bit involved but I’m sure you’d handle it, thanks for watching mate, cheers
I appreciate you taking the time and helps some of us figure out our own solutions when we have to alter our plans from a slip up thanks for the great content
Gday, I like to show my mistakes, i don’t hide them at all, someone can learn from them the same as I do, thanks for watching mate, cheers
Your mystery thread looks like it’s out of my old wood vice! I better check that no bugger has pinched it.
Gday Geoffrey, Its out of a quick release Dawn wood working vice, It going to be a challenge mate, Thanks for watching, Cheers
Thanks for another top video mate. New tool for the shop, just what every bloke wants, more gear. All the best 👍🇦🇺
Gday Mark, you can never have enough tools and better homemade ones, thanks for watching mate, cheers
Love these shop made tool projects. Always so interesting to see and always learn something new. I plan to build a fly cutter like yours as I make a couple parts that would be perfect for one instead of using a microbore that I currently use for the job. Keep these great project vids coming Marty.
Gday Steven, the fly cutter never seems to fail, it just works and I don’t use expensive inserts, thanks for watching mate, cheers
Your work always look so nice.
Thanks mate, appreciate you watching, cheers
That's a good looking lump of metal, although I would have made a 90mm boring head, rather than turn it into chips! Great stuff Matty.👍
Gday Olly, I did think of that but I’m not sure how the bigger head would go in a er40 with mt3, thanks for watching mate, cheers
Nicely done Matty.
Thanks very much mate, Appreciate you watching, Cheers
I'm having a good run with a Gearwrench set of taps and dies. The Gearwrench part number is 82812 and it contains 114 pieces. This kit has sizes that include SAE 4-40 to 3/4 and 3mm to 18mm sizes (plus some of the common BSP sizes for gas threads) but there are smaller kits available. It's Taiwanese and it seems to be well made. I love the racheting handles and the hex shaped dies (no slippage!). I haven't broken a tap yet so they seemed to have tempered them just right. I've cut threads in brass, aluminium, cold rolled and 4140. The only thing don't like is the taps don't have a center drill in the head of them so starting threads in the mill isn't straightforward, but I've managed to get around that by mounting them in a drill chuck. Not ideal, but it works. When I get some time I'll make an adapter. I haven't been able to find a current price but, as an indication, I didn't get much change out of $500 about 2 years ago. I got them through Total Tools in Fyshwick. They currently carry the kit 3887 (77 pieces) which seems to have most sizes that you would need at $269. gearwrench.com.au
Gday Bill, thanks for the heads up mate, I’ve got some homework to do mate, cheers
Another great product form the shed of Matty's Workshop, Cheers Muzzah
Gday Muzzah, hopefully it turns out alright mate, Thanks for watching, cheers
Thanks for sharing 👍 I've been thinking about making one of those. Good timing 😅
Gday Craig, perfect timing mate, I hope the videos help mate, cheers
In Australia HSS Sutton are my go-to taps, but I wince at the price.
One thing for sure is no matter how much of a dead eye Dick I think I am, using a tap follower in the same set-up you used to drill the hole makes a huge difference.
Gday, I have found a lot of the new taps I buy don’t have a centre hole for a tap follower, appreciate you watching mate, cheers
@@MattysWorkshop I have had the same problem, which I get around by using a T tap handle (Australian Made P&N, of course) which has a centre hole for the follower to locate in. I've had no problem tapping up to M12 with it.
Ambitious project! Your work is really impressive.
Thanks for watching Robert, cheers
eyup Matty
Great project👍👍
I'm on holiday so had to speed through your video , but this is something i need to make at some point, so will take a more detailed look when back home

Gday Kev, this is a really enjoyable build and you'll definitely enjoy it mate, thanks for watching, Cheers
Great video Matty, thanks as always. Dormer is the best I have got. Cheers. Mike
Gday Mike, dormer make really good Endmills as well, Thanks for watching mate, Cheers
Interesting machinists jack! Another good video...
Gday Warren, I have a video on making these a while back, definitely a handy tool to have, cheers
I use Suttons and Apria still have a few P and N Taps and dies
Thanks Roland, Sutton taps sound very popular, Thanks for watching mate, Cheers
Nice work. The fun's always in working around the foulups!
For Taps, I use Titex, Guhring, Prototyp and so on, all industrial quality stuff picked up for cheap on various forums. The taps I've bought new "over the counter" have always been pretty disappointing, but not as bad as the stuff I've had from china.
Gday, everything I build there’s always a foul up to work around, I’ve really got some homework to do with the taps mate, thanks for watching, cheers
You absolute ripper! That's far out Matty, I'm as impressed and amazed as when you made the first one mate 😊
Gday Ralfy, I reckon you should make one mate, I have no doubt you’ll do a brilliant job, if I can make one anyone can, thanks for watching, cheers
Hey Matty, Been following your videos for some time now, In my Shop I almost exclusively used HSS Sutton Taps, I have used other cheaper brands and just had them break at the worst possible time. I have found that paying more for and getting the HSS Suttons means that tapping is no longer a dreaded job for me anymore. I also used a tap follower when ever I can and this aids greatly in reducing broken taps.
Thanks for taking the time to film and share your projects.
cheers
Byron
Gday Byron, I think I’m going to have to keep a look out for Sutton taps, a lot don’t come with a centre hole for a follower now, at least a lot that I have, thanks for watching, cheers
G'Day Matty, I've always had P&N, Suttontools taps n dies. They are pretty good quality. Affordable is always subjective. Cheers, Butch.
Gday, a lot have suggested Sutton, im going to have to keep an eye on the specials I think, thanks for watching, cheers
It's looking really nice, see you next week Matty.
👍💪✌
Thanks Robert, appreciate you watching as always mate, cya next week
@@MattysWorkshop Have a good week Matty, cheers
Nice work and nice saves Matty. I can see how you are" hooked" on using the fly cutter, I absolutely love the finish it gets. Enjoyed very much, cheers!
Gday, the fly cutter never fails mate, it just works, thanks for watching, cheers
@@MattysWorkshop Most of the good taps I have are Dormer brand, have some gun taps which I think are made by Gorilla and they are excellent with a tapered lead ground.I find good taps hard to source or very expensive. I did get some nice metric taps with spiral flutes that are pretty nice quality for the price.
good video matty
Thanks very much mate, Cheers
That's a big one. Very nice project.
And I use "Made in Germany" taps Völkel. Great tools.
Gday Rustinox, Ive never heard of the brand Volkel brand before, Thanks for watching mate, Cheers
Use the same taps myself, they are pretty good.
Hi Matty, I cheated and bought a 75mm boring head, have to be careful boring larger holes, lot of imbalance.
Sutton taps only for me, support an Australian company, I buy them here in Philippines, good to see the Kangaroo on the box, reminds me of home.
Gday, don’t worry I did think about buy one but there’s no fun it that, I really have some homework to do with finding good taps mate, thanks for watching, cheers
Guhring Taps for me after breaking other taps i went and spent a little more for quality... they have not let me down yet.. Good Luck
Gday Paul, I have a couple of Guhring endmills that I used in stainless a lot and they have been brilliant, very good quality mate, Thanks for watching, Cheers
That worked out really well Matty. Shed time is becoming a rarity these days. I managed to sneak in a bit extra this week 🤫 I see you have some new Sign Writing on the lathe looks good.
Gday Rod, I haven't had much time at all this week, a mate of mine is making the stickers and does a bloody good job to, Thanks for watching, cheers
Two thumbs up! 👍👍
Thanks mate, Cheers
I love watching these builds. Keen to hear your thoughts on coolant in the late and mill. Every time I try use coolant on the lathe it ends up from asshole to Africa! Up the wall, roof, me!!!
Gday Ashley, I’ve been using Hangsterfers 5030 in the mill and lathe, it is messy on the lathe but it works great, I’ve noticed a big improvement in tool life and the coolant is transparent it’s really easy to work to scribe lines, I used to use Penrite and always had trouble with it going off and evaporating fast, Hangsterfers lasts a lot longer, hope this helps, cheers
Sutton taps. Locally made. Good stuff!
Thanks mate, appreciate you watching, cheers
Hi Matty, I've always wanted to make one but way too much work. Maybe someday!
Gday Dave, there’s a bit involved but not to bad mate, thanks for watching, cheers
you could also use an annular or rotabroach cutter after drilling the center away with the drills, well done on saving the day again :D
Gday, I need to get some more annular cutters at some stage, thanks for watching mate, cheers
Good job Matt--taps I buy are p&n and sutton
Mine too. The Sutton taps are available from lots outlets. Aaron swears by Sutton gear.
I buy mine online from AIMS Industrial here in Sydney. Postage shouldn’t be too steep on small items?
Regards
Robert
Gday Ian, Looks like a lot like the P&N Sutton mate, Thanks for watching, Cheers
Gday Robert, Sutton and P&N have been mentioned quite a few times, they have to be better the the bored mate, Cheers
Big fan of Vergarno helical flute machine taps. Teravin tooling in Perth can supply
Gday rob, Ive never heard of this brand before, I'lll check them out, Thanks for watching Cheers
Matty…
You must be the World Champion at ‘on-the-fly-design-and-build’
🤣🤣
Looking good so far mate…. can’t wait to see the rest.
Man those fly cutters give a brilliant finish eh?
Had the Sparky in today to finish wiring up my shed. He wired up a new 1/4 hp 415v pump on my Syil, and only the new motor to wire up on my ‘heavily customised’ 1997 960B, and I’ll be in business.
Then I’ll have to troll back thru all the Matty’s Workshop vids., and start making some of your great tools.
Thanks for all the hard work mate 👏👏
Regards
Robert
Gday Robert, its keeps to interesting building on the run, Id like to see what's been done to your lathe, if you go to make any of the tools i've made and you need dimensions just yell out mate, Thanks for watching mate, Cheers
I’ll send you some pics of my mods to the lathe.
Robert
Hey Matty,
I sent you some photos via email. Did you receive them?
Robert
@@RobertBrown-lf8yq yes I did, I need to have a good look yet mate
👍 Thx for the vid.
Appreciate you watching mate, cheers
90% of the taps from the October 2021 sale are from Germany. Only a1/3the way through departing and putting them in marked Ben's, but be a good winter project ❄️👍.This will be a big plus in the tool Ben for sure.
Gday Bear, you’ve got a bit of a mission there mate sort out taps by the sounds of it, thanks for watching, cheers
I don't know Gordo, but I buy Widia, Guhring, the like. They cost more, but work much better and are less likely to break, specially the powdered metal ones.
Most of my friends and relations used to work at Patience and Nicholson making drills and taps etc used to be really good in those days. I think Sutton tools took them over.
Gday, that would of been very handy back in the day mate, thanks for watching, cheers
For the last ten years as a mechanic I've been able to get taps out of the store room at work. Any time a tap felt like it was getting a little dull it went in the trash and I went and got a new one. But what really happened most of the time is I had to dig through the trash for the tap I just threw out because the store room was out and I was halfway through a job.
Gday, it would be handy have a store room full of spares, thanks for watching mate,
Now you’re just getting fancy and showing off.
Not sure about fancy mate, it’s not finished yet, thanks for watching, cheers
Tapping 4140 with chrome alloy taps is asking a bit as they are intended as thread chasers, not thread cutters except for use in non ferrous metals, better to use HSS taps. I find that paying the extra for HSS taps and dies does pay off in the long run. Bordo do list HSS taps, but not dies, if you want HSS dies, then check out Goliath. They come from the same stable as Bordo, so your suppliers should be able to source them.
Gday, thanks for the information, this is all we can buy and to get them to order in would be a lucky dip to be honest, appreciate you watching mate, cheers
I've started using Sowa taps. They power tap like a hot damn.
Thanks Andrew, I’ll look them up, cheers
Not drawn out at all thanks.
Gday Andrew, thanks for watching mate, cheers
Im thankful for having a mill that i wont ever change out... Well, maybe i get another one at some point, but my large mill is iso40, and that just makes things perfect... Any tooling i have to make can have 40 taper, and that is a solid slab o` metal right there... For my baby mill, i make 16mm cyl shanks, as she uses a mt2 with a schaublin er25 collets and regofix body, which in the little emco makes for a highly precise setup, but it aint skookum... Much care and gentlest approach are most highly advised... I suppose that 25mm/1in is somewhat better, given the math behind skookumness of steel profiles, but still, its a bloody shame you could not put, say, a 40 taper on the back of `er wha` for some solid chucking... That boring head would look much more refined with a machine taper shank... Not trying to talk shit, just my view of machine tools in general... I dont really like cylindrical shanks(of course, drills and endmills, boring bars and such i understand, but those are cutters and active tools) on tooling...
Also, for machining such chunky parts with accursed round shanks, you shoulda used a collet block in the vise... I have a spare 3 jaw, 10inch, on a plate for general holding of round shit on the mill... Given the ability to shift the tables, the rounout of the chuck doesnt matter for a lot of things, but its my go to when i need to put centers on opposing sides with precision, or bolt hole patterns in faces of round parts... Coulda been useful for this aswell, and for making the bar bores, at least the ones on the face...
All the best!
Thanks for watching mate, Cheers
Super job ! Howz that big rig running ?
Gday Alan, I drove that truck a few years ago now, its still around working everyday, Thanks for watching, Cheers
Hi Matty
Great work as usual.
Quick question, why use a slot instead of a stand gib?
Guhring taps and drills are also good.
I inherited a lot of CEJ taps, don’t know how old they are but they still cut well.
Gday Chris, I used the flexible gib on the 2" boring head and it works great and much easier to make rather then a seperate gib, Thanks for watching mate, Cheers
What ho Matty,
As all the girls say ,my what a big one you have. Sorry couldn't resist😅
My thoughts when you were turning all that lovely metal away, why not just make the whole thing bigger than planned?
Second thought being, if you find tapping holes scary you can drill bigger holes than the books suggest especially for longer threaded holes or tougher metals, without significant loss of strength. For M6 you can drill a 5.2 or 5.3 to give 75% or 65% thread engagement. For your M10x1, it being a precision item, maybe 9.1 or 9.2 would have allowed you to tap without that ominous feeling. I quote from an excellent book in the WPS of books,#12, by "tubal cain" the English one not the childrens shop class teacher from America .
Gday Chris, one day I’d like to make a 4” boring head, no real reason only just to have one, I did consider opening up the holes a little bit but really the taps should handle the standard thread engagement, I have gone bigger on other jobs that have had days of machining on them and breaking a tap would mean starting again, really appreciate you watching mate, cheers
Is there a build video on that rectangular block machinist's Jack that you used? I am a newbie and I have never seen that style before. Looks like a hybrid between a Jack and an adjustable parallel?
Gday, there is a video when I made it, I think I have plans here somewhere to, thanks for watching, cheers
Ruff , throwing ya tools you don’t like around the workshop 😂😂😂🍻
😂😂😂 I did say I don't like the bordo brand mate, Thanks for watching, Cheers
Awesome project you really impress me can't wait to see it finished bty what is that adjustable jack you used did you make it or buy it .I really need one Thanks again matty
Gday Ralph, I made the adjustable wedge type jack, im pretty sure I did a video on making it, I have plans here somewhere if you need them and I can find them, cheers

I use machine tap HSS either spiral fluted or gun nose Sutton or Goliath for price ISCAR or Guhring for quality.
Gday Raymond, quite a few have mentioned Guhring, the Guhring endmills I’ve got have been fantastic, thanks for watching, cheers
RE: Tap brands. . . Not sure there IS a good one!! I use whatever I can get my hands on for that teason. Will say that the only ones I've broken were dull, so when I find a dull one now it goes in the scrap.
Nice work Marty - do you or is there actually someone that still machines small items to order?
Got to love autocorrect Matty

Thanks Bob, appreciate you watching mate, Cheers
G'day mate, looks like you know what you're doing and perhaps you can give me some advice. I recently bought a ZAY 7045FG drill mill from China and when in use, it shakes like a bastard. I can't feel any slop in the spindle. I thought the spindle bearings needed adjustment but they seem good without any movement. When the machine is in operation and spinning, with no load, it seems smooth without any shaking but when in use, even with a 4mm end mill bit on mild steel, it vibrates as I said above. It's got me beat, what the shit could be doing this. If you can offer any clues, I'd appreciate it. Cheers mate.
Gday, Send me an email mattysworkshop76@gmail.com with your phone number mate and ill see if I can help, Cheers
👍

Even though my shop is the size of a confessional, it doesn't look like one, so I admit nothing in it. And I'm the only person I could admit mistakes too, so no bother there.
I like to show my mistakes simply to help others not to make the same, plenty on YT never show mistakes that’s for sure, thanks for watching, cheers
I have BORDO and they are a good tap but my go to tap is DORMER but they are expensive but BORDO are not cheap either and what's more they will all break when you don't want them to.
Gday David, Bordo isn't cheap here thats for sure, i'll have to look into the dormer taps, I have quite a few dormer Endmills that have been excellent, Thanks for watching, Cheers

I dunno.....boring heads professionally made are two a penny on EBAY.......what would be fantastic would be a boring and facing head.......that is something to really write home about as they cost a mint and don't come cheap.
Facing the bottom of a hole or facing a counterbore is impossible on a mill without a facing head capability......it can be done easily on a lathe but not a mill.
Gday, I’ve been looking for a set of plans to make a boring facing head, if I can find them I’d definitely consider making one, thanks for watching, cheers
