How To Break A Tap & Other Ramblings

I don't know what this video is about, but here are the ingredients:

- Taps & tap types, tapping head & breakdown
- Finishing the Lathe QCTP holders
- Revisit the DRO's tool offset feature

Breaking taps?! You mowin' my lawn Tony?

I'm not a machinist in any capacity, but my significant other is, so he likes watching your videos, and I've ALWAYS enjoyed watching them with him. But after the "clutch" joke on this video, I had to comment and let you know...the jokes you make in your videos make me laugh, groan, and head-desk in despair, and that is amazing. You are irreplaceable. Thank you for being you and for uploading these videos so I can laugh while I learn things [so that I can have more competent conversations with my SO].

I prefer breaking my taps with a cordless drill. Nothing breaks taps faster or more reliably like adding a motor to hand tapping.

Now this is a video for me!!

The dad jokes are strong with this one. I am going to use "When it comes to chamfers, there's no cutting corners" at every opportunity...whether it makes sense or not,

"I don't want you to get burnt out on..."

My dude you could do a 10 part series of 20 minute videos on anything and I wouldn't get burnt out on it.

Just want to say that while your content has remained consistently interesting over the years, the production value has noticeably been steadily increasing.
The extra time you're taking to frame a shot, set up lighting, get in really tight, and figure out a way to still operate your equipment without killing yourself for what might only end up as a few seconds in your final edit hasn't gone unappreciated.
And I'm willing to bet that I'm not the only one.

I doubt you will read this after so long, but you're are the ONLY You Tuber that I will consistently watch your videos over and over again.

You can also cold blue steel with root killer (Copper Sulfate)!

Hey Tony! I love your videos, I'm almost 18 years old and I'm in an FRC (FIRST Robotics Competition) team and every time I learn something new to try in our workshop

The quickest way to snap a tap is to post it to Martyn at Wintergatan

[JeffCowan]

Isn't this a problem that can be fixed through the application of more and larger machines, even more tooling, and a larger shop?

[disruptivetimes]

Elevator music and good tasting tool holders, hilarious. That last thing, slurping sound and a wet tool holder got me off guard and I almost fell from the couch, because, you know, we all did that at some point in dark places. Glad you had the courage to show the world what steel lovers do if nobody is watching.

Your ability to break taps with such precision that produces 2 taps of equal size is amazing, I hope to reach your skill level someday. Mine never break like that, for instance last night I was tapping a 1/2" thread, broke the tap and ended up with one half being a 3/16" and the other half a 5/16".

[billiondollardan]

So you're saying that if a guy has a quill, he should use that to break taps rather than moving the whole table

[BobbyDukeArts]

Man, that was so satisfying to watch.

[procyonia]

Those are for mounting face mills or large wheel cutters directly to the spindle face (I assume theres a 3 hole pattern on spindle face). The end matches the bore of the cutter you are mounting. And then just run the bolts thru the counter bored holes in the facemill body

[saminvincible]

Never ever seen a lathe in real life, but enjoy see you working on it. And your sense of humour, lots of prayers and love from Pakistan

[geoffbackman]

I genuinely appreciate your videos! I’ve learned lots over years

[jonfeuerborn]

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that I do believe that this is the best channel on YouTube. Now, this is obviously an opinion, and those are only worth so much (though I'm convinced that mine should carry more weight than it does).

Keep 'em coming. You've captivated a loyal band of tap snappers like myself. :-)
