You can literally do this with an old bolt and grinder , the bolt works good because it had a hex head for a socket . Never waste money on taps again . ^^^^^ This guy is making it ace but you really don't need to goto this extream unless you want to . ^^^^^^

Outside of the click bait (which I detest) introduction picture to the video it was a great example what can be done with modest tools, some ingenuity and a little time.

what is the material you made die out of? great presentation THANX

One good practice that will prevent breaking your drills in that type of set-up is to utilize your t-slots. Most quality milling tables have precision t-slots so I have a few different types. 1" wide and the depth of the slot plus 1/2" Proud of the table and a 1/4" thread in the center of the block, and another identical set but the tap is at an angle so the protruding screw will guide the workplace towards the table and the side that is the datum edge usually does not get clamped properly. Another set that is the width of you t- slots minus the head thickness of a 1/4" jex head bolt that has been faced on the lathe to remove the grade stamp and ensure a flat surface and you put the outside edge of your blocks towards the clamping area desired amd your loosen your bolt heads which makes them press the outside edge against the t-slots. I always tune up my machines by removing the gibs, cleaning the working areas, check for scraping depth on the gibs and wear patterns and if needed remachine them so you have full friction contact and when the table is in full left position, use a magnetic base and a 0.0001"( tenths) dial test indicator to measure the amount of play. ⛔Always use your plunge indicator to measure all of the 6 locations measurements on the X, Y, Z axis. I always fix Z first because everything must be perpendicular to the table. Gib clearance creates sag and if your going to do a indicate your t_slots for parralelness and perpendiculariry the tables gotta be zero with the lock in off position but depending on the shape of the pressure block you might have alot of travel, I like to make mine have no more than 1/4 movement of the allowable swing range. Once you replace the cleaned, scraped, oiled gibs and have no more than 0.001" sag with the locking lever in full off position, then you can actually measure how much the table or clamped workpiece shifts when you apply Moore force to the lock and you will know your machine alot better and when all 3 locks are engaged from a dead zero indication of a verticpe pin, you will notice the difference in location from the unlocked position, but the most it will be out, is only 0.001" in any direction which is alot better than most shops machines, even new ones can be set wrong. You will need to clamp a long bar facing outward to measu5 the knee's sag and obviously a lifting device and 9f your lifting the front of the machine and only got 0.001" and there's not too much friction for manual turning, your good to go. All axis done and now indicate t-slots lengrhways and vertically to see if the underside has swagwd out a bit over the years and then measure each slot width with gage blocks amdake them all the same. Document your 'Y' position from your digital readout, or if your using your graduated collar for each side of the slot but ALWAYS ELIMINATE YOUR BACKLASH FIRST. I always use the direction from negative to positive on the digital readout or lowest to highest on the collars, it's also a good way to calibrate your collars or readout if your dimensions are different between them both Thats another reason why gib maintainence and head perpendiculariry are paramount to true squarness and alot less having to grind the block square for precision jobs. You will also notice no wandering of the table while taking heavier cuts, Fly-cutting and even climbing doesn't grab and jump as much and just a slight bit of pressure on the lock will solve that. Ok Use one of those blocks in the slot opposite the side your clamo is on and if your drill grabs the workplace will not have anywhere to go Because the block is inside the tslot, your force is down from the drill and the other end is clamped, bit if it's a large workpiece and larger tools or heavier cuts than more datum blocks and top clamps to prevent moving. Rigidity is key to every setup, and to the accuracy, repeatability, safety, and it also promotes longer tool life. This will be my 40th year in the manufacturing industry, specifically Tool & Die making, - raw dies , prog dies, hand transfer, in die tapping, deep draw, all the ones used in automotive, aircraft, military, and medical. Mold Making, Aluminum Die Cast, Blow Molding, Precision Prototype Machines, R&D, Preventitive Maintenance, Trouble Shooting, Cad design and build, Mig, Tig, Oxy/Acet, stick welding. Harmonic Balancing and Precision Machining for Xtra large mining equipment. So I been all around the industry to keep myself challenged. I like to meet others who are questing for skills and knowledge. Anyone who wants tips I might have for their specific job, don't be shy to shout out. Make sure you have all the tools necessary to accurately perform your duties and processes amd as time goes on you will have a small shop in your tool boxes and cabinets that reduce your wandering time in the shop and those are the times we forgot to do something and slip up and those add to loses for the boss and you won't get the se raises as if you were more efficient. Don't buy cheap tools unless there for butcher work. The fractional, letter, and # drill sets that I bought iny first year apprenticeship were SKF Dormer drills from Germany and they cost me $700, and I still have and use 75% of the original drills because I don't burn the tips out, or lend out to other people. That's what your duplicates are for. 9ts good to have a set that are already ground flat bottom so you don't always have to use an endmill to flat bottom the hole and matching sizes of endmill to drill size (unevenly sharpened drills will cut bigger) so it's a good idea to fill your boxes with the tools to make life easier. Custom tools are the best because you make them specific and hopefully multi purpose. OK I'll shut up now, and soon I'm gonna gather some of my creations and share them with Y'all. ☮️♾️✝️

Any ideas on modifying a cheap chinese drill press to have the spindle move in added tight tolerance bushings?

So ein Kokolores.Bulshit. Zu teuer.

Grand Travail, bravo 👍

Pravi specialist,ni kaj za dodati.

4:03 which insert are you using for turning???

Спасибо. Идея которая лежит на поверхности. Можно изготовить метчик с направляющей. Его иногда так не хватает.

دسخوش 👌

It's not a drill bit it's a tap

GRAN TRABAJO BROTHER GRACIAS

там видны сколы после использования один раз.

Jak ja dawno nie ostrzyłem noża oprócz przecinaków do plastiku

Great job 👌👌

Buying another one instead of doing this. Wasteful!!!

should make a drillbit holder that engages the spiral so you can very accurately grind it and not grind too far and ruin the cutting edge with low grit sandpaper belt i always grinded my drills, i would adjust the metal plate accordingly to a plate i had grinded at the right angle, i could grind many drillbits in very short time with about 90-95% success rate if its totally messed up i would insert in hand-drill and counter-clockwise grind it on the belt then take it out and grind it flat, remove the excess metal on the backside i prefer to leave the finish with a very flat grinding rather than rounded, it seems stronger but it can be hard to guesstimate the attachments where you do a swinging motion and press drill into the grinding mechanic sucks compared to doing by hand- because you have little control and drillbits vary in lenght so its impractical. we need something thats adjustable easily. biggest obstacle is not grinding the drillbit too far and making it the same as when you grind it using a hand drill

Excelente trabalho

It would be nice to see you check the dimensions of the HOLES! Because I know the holes are not even close to the dimensions they are supposed to be. Just one of the drills you made, when you used it to drill out the center of the steel, flexed a 100 thou when it contacted the work surface.

Schöne Arbeit, aber lohnt sich der Aufwand.

What's up with the snowmachine I hear in the background?

Is this water on which u dip it

Hey there. Excellent job on everything. So, aside from the satisfaction you get from creating these, my guess is that they'd be cheaper to just go buy them? Don't get me wrong, if I had a lathe, I'd never buy a nut, bolt, screw, cabinet handles, etc. Basically, anything you could dish out of a chunk of metal, I'd at least attempt making it first. With that said, it wouldn't progress beyond a hobby. Having the skill YOU have, makes YOUR time on a mill or lathe, worth much more than mine would. Thanks for sharing this with us. Subbing right now.

Impressive which can be implemented in other areas.

Abi selam ben size yazmisdim bir is birliyi ile ilgili konusmam lazim benim bilgilerim kanalimda

А в чем приимущество такого метчика ?? И еще вопрос а можно изготовить метчики из обойми шарикопотшипника,из крупного нарезать шлиф машинойнагреть вировнять отпустить и из него изготовить я практиковал ножи разнообразние зубила и викрутки для виварвчивания сломаних болтов и шпилек из роликов потшипника изготаливал шпонки ,хочу узнать ваше мнение как специалиста я ду аю аина металах лутше знаетесь???

Красавчик ! Чистюля !! Приятно , когда все почти идеально !!! Успехов ❤ , за наждачку и образив минус😢

Buen trabajo aunque pensaba, sí, en el costo beneficio. Pero es un trabajo artesanal a costa de ingenio , paciencia y habilidad. Es una satisfacción para el que lo hace. Vaya mis felicitaciones para Master y gracias por compartir conocimientos.

موبدع وعمل جيد جداً

Eso está bien saber hacerlo , pero si iba a una tienda de metal mecánica, y lo compraba, se hubiese ahorrado todo ese trabajo y hubiese gastado mucho menos😅😅

بلفعل الآت مناسبة وشخص عبقري لن تشاهد بعد ذالك فواتير مزعجة 😁😁😁😁 اهنيك على هذه العبقرية الأكثر من رائعة👍👍👍

Bellissimo lavoro

Very Helpful and Informative video 👍✌️❤

excellent video.

why wouldn't you just buy one for a few dollars

se nota que se le gasto en la ultima pasada, o sea que sirve solo para hacer un pedacito de rosca?

Yes❤

12:20 you can drill only alluminium or stainless to?

Whats the Name of machine??..

Genius!! The possibilites are endless!

Go ahead and buy a left hand double lead Acme tap at K-mart (USA) Any size!

Like it came from the store. I unfortunately do not own an acetylebne torch to heat the drill bit that hot. They pulled MAPP gas off the market so it makes it difficult.

The old way of screw cutting took skill and a sharp brain, it's scandalous how the salary of a toolmaker or machinest was so average for such a skilled job. Dying breed nowadays

What a master machinist. Lovely to watch.

Why did you heat the steel a second time at 29:50 minutes?

Perfect job. Thanks!

Very impressive.

Bellissimo lavoro!!
