I tried to order a 1 1/4 x 8 tap from JR Beal a few months ago and was told
the ones they had were flawed. I think a few on this ng had the same
response. I checked again a couple of weeks ago and JR sent me one of the
new taps for a user trial. Works great, just like advertised and apparently
they now have all the popular sizes in quantity.

Follow up for those interested:
I exchanged emails with J.R. at Beall and found that while he had a good supply
of the 1 1/4" x 8 taps, the other sizes were not available..
He hoped to have them within a month..

Bought the cheapest one they had and it still works great. But then they
are metal taps but still do excellent in wood. Maybe they should order
from MSC.

ENCO (www.use-enco.com) is a good source for machine tools like taps. and
these taps often go very cheaply on e-bay.

The day you find that there is glue or varnish build up in the threads of
your favorite chuck or faceplate and you clean it out in a jiffy, is the day
you REALLY think the tap is a time and money saver! O do I know this.

the problem with tapping wood is that it doesn't hold up all that well to
repeated threading and unthreading - neither does aluminum - that's one
reason why I stick with steel nuts for the faceplates I sell - I could make
aluminum faceplates, but they wouldn't hold up as well and they would cost
more.

Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com

I'm new and just following this 'tap' root...(ooah), I'm wondering
what the differences are between the Beal wood taps and a general
'bottom tap'? Is it just a difference in the number of lead threads
tapered and/or the shank diameter? What would be the best way to hold
the tap and wood piece -assuming the piece is a small glue block type
size and shape (approx. 3 inches)? Could you still use the wood tap
for steel in a pinch? I see the price of a wood tap is about 42% more
than a regular bottom tap (1" - 8 NC). Has anyone tried both and which
do you like?

thanks... june, in Denver

As to holding, I believe that Beall recommends chucking the piece of wood and
using a tail stock chuck for the tap, slowly turning the work while advancing
the tail stock?

Mac

https://home.comcast.net/~mac.davis
https://home.comcast.net/~mac.davis/wood_stuff.htm

Sorry, June, I have not used the Beal and I am not sure of the differences
between it and other taps. My understanding is that the Beal is a wood tap
and likely structured for a different thread than a metal tap. Not all
threads are the same even when the same number per inch. Generally in metal
work, a bottoming tap follows a taper tap so as to get to the bottom of a
blind hole.

Most taps have - at the end - a general taper. That's so the first few
cuts just take a smidge of a cut. As you enter the hole, the cuts get
deeper. So after about 3-4 turns the threads are at the normal depth.



The problem is - what do you do with a blind hole? That is, what if
you have a hole cut into wood, and it does not go all the way thru?

The above tap will not make a full thread at the bottom of the hole.
That's why you use a bottom tap. It has full threads at the bottom.

It's hard to use a bottom tap in a hole with no threads. So you start
with a normal tap, and then finish with a bottom tap.

Bruce and Darrell are absolutely correct, but I believe you also asked
whether a wood tap could be used to tap metal and if a metal tap can be
used to tap wood. A metal tap can always tap wood as far as I know. The
metal is much harder than the wood. The ability to cut quality threads
probably depends on the kind of wood and the pitch of the threads. Wood
taps are designed to tap wood. I have never tried to tap metal with one.
I expect they would tap lead, copper, bronze, and brass, but I wouldn't
use them on steel.
Regards,
Hank

Thanks guys for all your replys and url referrals. I'm not sure when
I'll get to this, there are so many other things I want to do too. The
project list is building. june
