Tapping and Threading Using Taps and Dies

Sometimes, you have to make your own bolts or turn holes into threaded holes. Using taps and dies is often the simplest way to do this, but you have to know how.

You will learn hole and rod sizes for various thread sizes. Don't worry that you will have to memorize them--they are on a chart on the Machine Shop wall!

Learn how to lubricate your tap or die, and how to break chips for a smooth thread.

It's fast, fun, and extremely satisfying to see threads appear in your project as if by magic!
