Making a UNIVERSAL Tap Follower || INHERITANCE MACHINING

Welcome back to my manual machine shop. In this build I’ll be making a spring loaded universal tap follower. This is a super useful tapping guide that keeps your tap and tap wrench straight when thread tapping. I’ll start at the drafting table putting together a detailed pencil drawing of the parts. And while it’s not nearly as over engineered of a design as I normally do, there are some features that were far more challenging than I anticipated. And the box of shame claims several victims… Despite that I got to spend some quality time at the metal lathe, my favorite machine. And after several videos without one, had an excuse to knock out a good side project.

Wonderful tool, beautifully made. My grandpa was an engineer and tool and die maker. He said "Feel free to ignore the problem now. It won't ignore you later." I have often remembered this too late. My wife and I completely restored our 22 room 19th century abbey that would become our home. It took 15 years and in the process, a number of times I saw something that needed to be addressed, but I didn't have time, didn't want to bother, didn't think it mattered. Some of those things never got corrected and still irritate me. I'm too old to start correcting them now, so if they ever do get corrected it will be by someone else. Thanks much for this excellent video. In learning from your mistakes you are helping others avoid making them. That is a true gift.

I have a jewelers benchtop laser. If I break a tap, I can use it to either blow a hole in the tap or weld something to it so that I can extract it. I’ve also repaired a hole that didn’t need much strength by drilling way large then press fitting a tube into the hole and then laser welding the seams and finishing the hole to correct size. Smallest focal point is listed at 0.2mm, so I can go after small drill bits too. This laser is probably my favorite benchtop tool, when I got it I didn’t know just how much utility it would have. I can weld, “cut” (more like incrementally vaporize material in a line), solder, ablate coatings, and so much more. Being clever with it has seriously increased my capabilities and saved so much time on a couple of parts that I messed up. Freaking love this laser.

Great video, thanks for sharing! In our experience, drilling a long hole with a twist drill will always wander somewhat even if you set up your tailstock super carefully and use a brand new high-quality drill bit, so boring is a must. If you can't bore the whole length, it helps significantly if you just bore the first bit so the flutes of the drill bit are a nice fit to help guide the drill bit the rest of the way.

Just wanted to let you know, and I find that even older experienced machinists sometimes don't know this but, in commercial tap followers you can actually flip the 60 degree plunger upside down and on the back is a matching cup so that you can follow small diameter taps that only have the point without the use of a dimpled tap wrench. Something to think about.

Hey man, it's your friendly tool maker here again. Lots of drills are actually bent from the manufacturer and will cause the hole to walk off center when drilling in a lathe or any time the drill is stationary and the work is moving. Bent drills don't seem to be a problem on mills or any operators where the drill is spinning and the work is stationary. It's a total pain in the ass when I have to make step drills out of supplied drills from companies who don't care about their quality. It happens way more than you know... 😢

I haven’t even finished watching this yet, and I had to comment. Just got to the part where you mention the “Morse Taper”, and it reminded me of the grandfather I barely knew and inherited little because so was I when he passed. At this moment I am unsure of the dates, but he worked his way up from sweeping the floor in Morse Twist Drill and Machine Company to be the president of the company in the 60’s and possibly early 70’s. So now I’ve spent the last three hours looking up facts about tooling and the history of New Bedford and such (I’m not a machinist fyi). So side project 1 for tomorrow, is to talk to my 80 y/o father and get more information about a man I have scant memories of. But now back to finishing this video since I can’t sleep at this point until I do, three hours later than I planned on. I have few things from his time there, an index of drill bits, a tap set, and not much else. Much my father had was damaged in a flood, and I assume is gone. Keep making these videos, it is fantastic watching you make such fine things and also remain entertaining.

@CVSBobby Жыл бұрын

Great video Keep it up. 5th generation, 23 year machinist here. Your order of operations bit you on the body. Always move from most coarse to most fine operation. Drill before turning. Drill a center larger than the drill, drill then turn on with the center. In fact always turn on a center anytime projection length exceeds 3x diameter. If end to end taper and concentricity are critical finish turning between centers. Stay at it brother. Much love, it takes a village to raise a child and a whole lot more to raise a machinist and here you are all on your own. I'd love to see a bio video on your grandfather.

With that hand drawing, you have a perfect role for engineering. I couldn't do that unless it's on a cad cam..

Well Brandon, four or five months ago KZfaq recommend your first video. I clicked on it and when you started to talk I went like this "Oh gawd a yuppy machinist". Boy was I ever wrong. The way you explain things, the side projects, oh and "The Box of shame" no wonder you have 192K subscribers in less than 6 months. Excellent work 👍👍👍 . Thank you for sharing. Take care of yourself, be safe, 🇨🇦

If there is one thing I have learned through my life, it is; no matter how many springs you have collected, you always need more of them. Great episode and I really like your approach and methodology (humbleness).

I just wanted to extend my gratitude for the fantastic videos you create about machining. Your content not only provides in-depth knowledge and practical insights into the world of machining, but also imbues valuable lessons on inheritance, character building, and the joy of making things. Your passion and dedication to your craft are truly inspiring, and I am grateful for the opportunity to learn from you. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and expertise with the world. Your videos are a joy to watch

I never knew these existed, I do wood turning but occasionally have to tap a thread, bought one off the back of your video (can’t really make one on a wood lathe) and it’s made tapping so much easier

You’re like the only KZfaq machinist that adjusts the tail stock for alignment. It really bugs me when I see lathe tail stock drills visibly deflect on camera from mis alignment.

That sure was an unexpected roller coaster ride. Well done on negotiating the bumps and reverse turns. You got there in the end with a beautifully designed and executed tool. As for your box of shame, it contains important memories and lessons learned. 👏👏👍😀

Every time I see you start a drawing, it makes me smile. Your K&E drafting machine reminds me of the ones I used in drafting class many years ago. Keep up the good work.

You can wind solid core copper wire around a thread to avoid damaging it when you have to clamp a part on a thread

I've been working my way through your videos and the hand drafting brings me back to highschool. I graduated in 2003 and I'm guessing those classes didn't last much longer after that. I really enjoyed those classes

Hi: a source for the center point rod is the hardened, chromed rod for an old Mack diesel injector. They will never wear out when used as a tap follower. They also work as a center point for layout and marking on soft metals.

I deeply feel that this channel needs a lot more subscribers as the quality is top notch and every second of these videos makes me (and i know a lot of the viewers) happy and relaxed. As usual, I put a well deserved like on it and I am waiting for the next one ! 🙂

Nice work Brandon! Those test indicators only measure absolute distance at a specific angle for the stylus. Everything else is subject to cosine error. A plunger indicator is always what I reach for when dealing with tailstock alignment. Thanks for the content!

@InheritanceMachining Жыл бұрын

Thanks and very good point! I'll have to do the math to figure out how much that cosine error is for the 10 thou travel of the stylus

We’ll. Ive come across a new favorite channel. From the name understating how you’ve learned and now the next generation of your family to use the machinery. I’m sure your grandfather is just beaming on you with joy and smiles. And also saying “you should have done that this way.” Ha. I really need to dust off my old table and drafting tools for my future ideas as well. Freshen up on practice. Your quality on videos is quite appreciated by many of that I’m sure. Keep it up. This channel is special.
