@TazerEngineering I, too, used bolts longer than the tapping tool (on 3030 extrusions) and, after the first tap with the tool, I continued using a bolt. An impact driver makes it easier. =)
@@TazerEngineering Thread a nut on the bolt, cut it, clean up the end on a grinder, then take the nut off to clean up the threads. Having more bolts is usually a good thing, though.
oh no way, I also needed to build a cnc machine for
You can tap aluminium extrusions using bolts: it's not ideal (and you risk ripping the bolt) but for short taps it can be done. =)
Wow, I didn't know that. I might try it.

Imagine needing 2 CNC machines for one part
option 3: cut the bolt.
I figured that cutting it would fuck up the thread and I only had 2 bolts.

@@UnoriginalElephant I'll try it next time.
Option 4: make a new bolt in your completed CNC machine.
@@GilesBathgate lmao. Yeah I could but I would need a bolt for the CNC. Luckily I can just make it on my CNC I am building.
Damn i cant wait to build this machine for
Oh yeah, I was also going to be building this for a
Cool build, imagine it would be really good at
Won’t you need another axis? Also great video 👍
Why the re-up??
My previous wasn't performing well, so I've changed the thumbnail and the title and reuploaded it.
Don't you just hate it when yo..
what are you gonna do with a 2 axis machine
well,
I'm SPEED😂
