About

G'day everyone. Here on the Artisan Makes channel I create home machine shop videos. With a small workshop and modest equipment, I will show that almost anything can be made with an import lathe, and a small milling machine. I hope you learn something new and enjoy your time here.

Video Description

G'day everyone, In this Video I will be making a huge tap wrench to hold my big 40mm taps that I made a few weeks ago. The shank on those taps measures out to be 30mm in diameter, which is too big for any of my current tap wrenches. Probably not too surprising. Now I don't want to overthink this project, put it simply, I want to make a big tap wrench. I didn't have to do this, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity. The final result is a very strong tap wrench, and having used it I can say that it is very solid. I will be making it from a piece of 25 x 75mm bar stock which I will turn between centers on the lathe and turn a thread for some handles. I hope you enjoy the video. #machining #diy #tapwrench Making a Giant Tap Wrench 2.7M Long Tap Wrench Massive Tap Wrench Build DIY Tap Wrench Timestamps 0:00 - Introduction 1:15 - Turning Down The Main Body 8:36 - Milling The Main Body 11:01 - Machining The Moving And Fixed Jaws 13:52 - Turning The Adjustment Screw 16:29 - Turning The Handles 20:18 - Final Assembly and Measurement
