Sometimes you don't have the right tool for the job.  This is an old trick that uses a tap of the right pitch as a thread-boring tool to cut threads in a hole larger than the tap was designed for.

Here's hoping someone finds this useful!

Using a TAP as Thread Boring Tool

Using a tap to cut threads?! I know, crazy, right? But just you watch! In a pinch you can use a smaller tap of the right pitch to thread larger bores than the tap was intended for.

This episode was so great that I began to feel guilty about only coughing up a buck for it. So, ya, it'll mean more peanut butter sandwiches, but your worth it!

Seems like a great way to turn rods into fine pitch screws and use brass for the no backlash nuts. I've thought about this. There are many uses though. Heavier load fine adjustment knobs.

This is brilliant ! (It's also obvious, once one knows the answer) But, then again, what isn't obvious, once you know the answer. I can't thank you enough for your brilliant insight, and accompanying humor / satire. Sincerely, Scott (a long time watcher)
