I got some tools left behind after a woman died, that her husband had
left behind 10 years ago when he died. Both were in their 80's. He
made furniture, at least as a hobby. There was some nice furniture
there that they were selling, that he made, that he and his wife had
used for, I think, decades.

Two were a matching quarter inch drill and something I thought was a
drill, but is labeled Black & Decker Model 586 Tapgun.

Now that I have the "tapgun" running, it only turns counter-clockwise
and it seems like a normal, low speed 1/4 inch drill, but it has a 1
inch push-back spring on the shaft just behind the chuck and
sometimes, like if I grab hold of the chuck, it seems to be moving
forwards and backwards, "tapping" the work.

I've wanted a hammer drill since I saw they made them (because they
make them), but I've never actually seen one run in hammer mode. Is
this a pre-cursor, since it only seems to tap and not hammer, or is it
just that this is B&D's name, and hammer drill is generic. Web
searches find nothing for me.

Why does it only turn counter-clockwise? And what is this especially
good for! I like it because it's old, but it really should do
something.


(Both have matching steel cases and 3-prong plugs, and this one was
broken. The trigger wouldn't pull in, but last night I fixed that
(only needed lubrication, but I think I had to take it apart to reach
the right spot))

Edwin wil know...

It's a special drill for tapping (cutting threads). B&D used to market a
set of three drills for metal workers: holgun (drilling), tapgun
(tapping), and scrugun (driving the fastener). Looks like you got two of
the three.

I picked up Porter Cable's version at an auction some years back. It's
not useful on every project, but it's very useful when you need to tap
a lot of holes quickly. Did you ever tap wood? It works great,
especially in the nice dense tight-grained woods. That spring loaded
nose is the automatic part. It rotates in (clockwise) when you push
down and it reverses when you pull up on the tool. First time I tried
it I was _sure_ that I'd be snapping taps all over the place, but nope,
easy to use to boot.

Have fun with it

I tap the wood if there's a part that might be taken off and
reassembled more than a few times and I use machine screws.

Well, in case I can't find them in what I got from the guy's
granddaughter, I looked on the web and the first clear hits on "tap
wood" were from Harbor Freight of all places and they have 1" bottom
taps for 6 dollars and 1/2" for 4 dollars. So these aren't hard to
get! I don't remember seeing them before.

On the same page was listed

" 4 PC. LEFT HAND HIGH SPEED STEEL DRILL BIT SET
4 PC. LEFT HAND HIGH SPEED STEEL DRILL BIT SET

Remove bolts or studs easily when the head breaks off. Eliminate the
need to bore out and re-tap the hole. Simply drill a hole in the
broken stud, insert a screw extractor, turn the extractor with a tap
wrench and back them out. Made from high speed steel. Only for use
with reversible drills.

* Includes 4 left-handed drill bits: 1/8'', 3/16'', 1/4'', and
3/8''

ITEM 38180-4VGA $5.99"

By Drill Master. I don't think Vermont American has more than 2 of
these sizes, and although I'm sure the quality is low here, the price
is cheap. Just two days ago, I had to get a screw out of the tapgun
itself. I had already used liquid wrench and I couldn't use a nut
cracker as someone suggeested in anotther thread, because the "nut"
was part of the drill. I was going to use a left-handed drill, but
tried an impact wrench with a flat screwdriver bit first. Of course
that risked breaking the piece of the drill case, and driling wouldn't
have.

Well, if the guy had a automatic tapping gun there should be some taps
flating around. If you can't find them, you can often find boxes of

I always look at garage sales, but around here, not too many tools.
Just baby clothes!

That's a different animal. The gun you have is a metalworking tool.
I'm just saying you can use your gun with the regular metal taps in
wood and get surprisingly good results.

R

the motion back and forth that you mentioned is required with ordinary taps
in
mild steel. With a standard (right hand) thread, the tap rotates maybe a
half turn clockwise, then maybe a quarter turn ccw. This sequence is
repeated as long as the trigger is pressed.
The backward rotation breaks the chips that are curling out of the cutting
edges. On gummy materials this keeps the chips small so they will fall out
of the gullets rather than jamming up. The same technique needs to be used
when manually tapping these ductile materials.

He can also likely Ebay the tapgun which he seems to have no use for and
make a good deal of money if he describes it properly so metalworkers
can find it. Heck, I'd give $50 + $9 for Priority Mail shipping for it.

Yes indeed! The other one is labelled...well the plate is scuffed but
it starts with an H so I guess it is a holgun, good for making holes,
I gather.

I indirectly learned of a guy who was short of money, but needed tools
to pursue a (just-starting, I guess) career in word working. I gave
him a modern double insultate but one speed sabre saw, and a beautiful
but old all steel case Skil saw, by Skil, complete with a wooden carry
case (although I think that was from an even older tool.) and I was
going to give him this quarter inch drill, the holgun.

When I realized it matched the other, I took it home instead of
bringing it to his apartment, and now that they match, I hate to break
the set. If he ends up making some sorts of furniture, he'd be able
to use the tapgun more than I am likely to, so I could give him both
of them.... but I like having all these tools. Once I have a tool, I
always need it...it's amazing but true. Should I give him the holgun,
the tapgun, or both?

I'd almost rather buy him a new quarter inch drill than give him the
old one. And I figure I'll be dead in 40 more years, and I can give
my tools to someone worthy then. (I"m 59.)

The tapgun has almost no application in woodworking, it is a 99.9%
metalworking tool. It would be most applicable to tasks such as taping
holes in sheet metal electrical cabinets for mounting components,
basically any application with through hole tapping in light to medium
gauge metal.

P.S. the other, probably bigger reason, RicodJour, that I started
concentrating on tapping wood is that the guy I got this from was a
furniture maker, and all the other tools seemed to center around wood.
I wish I could have met the guy, but he died at least 10 years ago.

I'm 36 and a "reformed pack rat". I give serious consideration to how
long it will actually be before I use something and what it would cost
to just buy new then. That doesn't mean I don't still hang onto stuff
and indeed I frequently pull out stuff I've put aside like five years
ago for a project today. I also have a couple "warehouses" comprising
about 500+ square feet.

BTW, the Priority Mail flat rate boxes are the most economical shipping
I've found for a lot of smaller / heavier things. Anything that will fit
in the supplied box, up to 70# anywhere in the country in 2-3 days for
like $8.10.

Hi there, B&D is a tapgun that means you drill a hole according to the tap
size, (see chart) drill and tap chart, and instead of turning the tap by hand,
you put it in machine, use cutting oil, squeeze trigger, apply light pressure
forward, the tap will turn CC, when pull back machine, tap will turn
CCW...depends of material used, and status of tap, you may move back and forth
until the drilled hole is completed with thread.....it is a great tool...treat

You think mm has been hanging around for the last 10 1/2 years
awaiting your answer?

I got on The Home Owners Hub and noticed that there are NO dates on the Usenet posts that are on the site. I don't think the folks who've been lured there have a clue that it's click bait. ヽ(ヅ)ノ

Not click bait. I enjoyed learning from it.

Home Groaner's Hub is a click bait site. They use an NNTP server
ported to use Usenet threads, act as if it is their very on material,
basically claming (acting) ownership of material posted on Usenet.
People find the site, those not knowing Usenet, by searching online
and end up there thinking it is a fountain of youth or something.

As to the poster "Thomas" -- he is a victim of such deception. Red
Green got his postings filtered, so I followed suit. Even Red Green
hasn't been around for years. Not sure what happened to him. He sure
was funny though.

Home Groaner's Hub is CLICK BAIT. Try using Usenet with an NNTP
reader. Learn the difference.
