Thank you kind sir, i dont claim originality but it certainly isn't common knowledge these days. Not something for everyday use but useful to have in your techniques arsenal for that odd occasion.
Hello Chris, I have been re-watching your videos lately. 👍 Recently, however, I saw some replies on another channel that I believe were written by you; the topic was tangential tooling. Do I have it right? Have you built an assortment of such tools? If so, I’d like to learn a bit. Thanks
@@624Dudley sorry I didn't get any notification of your comment, thank you UA-cam, I have indeed made many assorted types from a copy of the original victorian style through to my version of the Australian. There are many places where you can find information and the advantages of using one make the research worthwhile, it's even worth buying the ozzie one despite the apparently high cost. I use mine for almost everything that doesn't involve working hard metals where carbide tooling is required.
@@chrisstephens6673 Hello Chris, as I recall that message was left just around the time I’d learned that the Oz version was unavailable, in my size at least. The proprietor told me that it was down to the closure of a foundry of long standing. Thanks for your input!
@@624Dudley I had not heard there were problems, sorry to hear that. You would think it an easy thing to produce on any 5 axis machine centre without need for castings or forgeings. You don't really need anything tougher than mild steel, the one I have been using for many years is just mild steel, not even case hardened. I would suspect, without evidence, that the chap in Oz is thinking towards retirement and not putting extra effort into a new source, and I wouldn't blame him.

@@homemadetools Thanks for the offer, which I might take you up on but please don't be offended if I don't. Blame it on commitment issues or perhaps I'm just a miserable anti-social old git.😂
Glad you found the channel and thanks for the sub, the more the merrier. Thanks too for the comment without one i cant thank the new arrivals. With all these new subs I'm getting i shall have pull the finger out and video something new.
Hi Ray, YT have become very lax in informing me of comments so i have to go and look on the videos themselves, so you are lucky i found you. I never claim the idea is mine but only that i am resurrecting it because i saw Matty could benefit from it and i needed one for a job i am doing. Hope you are coping with the various troubles you are having overthere right now. At least you can hide in your shop and brush the floor and polish the machines.😉 ATB c
You're welcome, I had to make that size tool for some special pitch 3/16 bolts I am making for a friend and as there are no dies available, at least not until l make one, I shall have to at least rough them out by single point threading, before final sizing with the die. I guess it is another example of synchronicity half a world apart, and one of the benefits of UA-cam where one person can have a problem and their YT friends offer help. Thanks for the sub, I don't put up much unless I actually have something to show, especially with the slow net I have, it took most of the night to load a couple of minutes. I usually try to load from SMEE HQ where it takes no time at all to upload, but with lockdown that is not possible. ATB c
Hi Jon, goes to prove what I always thought, you don't learn everything while doing an apprenticeship. 😉 Thanks for commenting, and with all the recent hike in views and subs I'll have to think of some more things to upload and keep my audience happy. ATB c
Hi Chris Just found your channel with you subscribing to me. That's a great idea one I have not used since my apprentice days many moons ago. In fact I had forgot about it. I will take a look through your other videos as time permits. Regards Mr f
Hi Mr F, thanks for the comment, i hope you don't get too bored going through my videos, it might take me a little longer to go through yours than for you to go through mine.
What ho Namesake, In case i have false memory syndrome and it is in fact my idea i shall say thanks, if not i accept thanks on his behslf. For most threads this small most people would use a die. Not possible in my case 3/16 by 27tpi as the thresd is a Douglas special. Bastards!😢 Hope you are surviving our depressing times. ATB c
HI Al, Indeed, not needed everyday well not unless you are making small bolts all the time.😉 I have some 27tpi bolts to make, which is a pain as my imp myford has a gearbox for threads and you can't mess about with change gears for odd ones not listed. I have worked out a spreadsheet for my metric bantam and it looks like i can get within 0.2% of what i need. Should be good enough for 3/4" long bolts. No dies for this size, a Douglas oddity, hence need to screw cut and the tool. ATB c How's your taper boring going?
Good question, there are times when it is not convenient or you can't be bothered to remove the centre drill hole. One advantage of this tool is it takes the raised burrs down as you make them. Thanks for commenting, I hope I have answered, even if only partially, your question.
Thats a great idea. Same concept as a follow rest. Well done.
Thank you kind sir.
Not quite sure if it is a steady or follow rest but if it works ......
Thanks, Chris. That’s one of those things that seems obvious once seen, yet hard to think up otherwise. Nicely done!

Smart idea, Ill try to remember it when I do some small treading. Stay safe, Chris.
Thanks for the comment i am sure you will remember it when you need it and stay safe yourself.
Thanks for showing this great idea; never seen it before.
Thanks for commenting, I'm sure I have seen it before but I could have thought of it, either way it has its uses.

Why not just use a live center?
Good question, there are times when it is not convenient or you can't be bothered to remove the centre drill hole. One advantage of this tool is it takes the raised burrs down as you make them.
Thanks for commenting, I hope I have answered, even if only partially, your question.

Looks to me like cutting threads can be faster with this devise...
Sorry only just found your comment, ìn this case it made cutting the thread possible as the job had a very bad ratio of length to cross section.
