Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

dude on the trading post got so butthurt over getting called out for shitty welds

Yea what happened to him he dissapeared after I told him he should be selling his welder not the jeep. And coming from me that's bad plus I'm drunk.

They're the alloy taps at least, not carbon. For the amount I'll use them I'll take the chance. Not gonna be using them for thick shit

70 bucks for an 8 inch HF vs 130 for this 10 inch... http://www.homedepot.com/p/Ryobi-10-in-Drill-Press-DP102L/100490179#

I have that drill press, it's been from mass to indiana, use it all the time, been beating on it for years. It'll put a 2" holesaw through 1/4 plate if you don't mind chattering your way through and I stuffed a 1" holesaw through 4 pieces of 1" plate a few years back.

Getting a broken tap out SUCKS. I think Snap-On, Matxo etc make a special tool to remove them, but I bet it still isn't fun.

If it's something that absolutely cannot be screwed up, ram edm is the most effective way to do it. Hammer + pointy punch to shatter the tap works well, or there's the pronged tools to try to spin the tap out that you mentioned. Personally, I prefer plunging an end mill + helicoil or Keensert if there is enough wall thickness.

I've been using a chinese set of taps cheaper than the harbor freight set for like 5 years.

You got lucky. Did you get them at WT tool before they moved?

XJLI,

I should be at the pizzafest tomorrow. Weather forecast just changed and there is no longer snow in the forecast so i doubt i'll get stuck at working plowing. Might be slightly late but i should show.

If you can bring that tranny for me, it would be awesome.

I'll PM you my number. Shoot me a text and i'll let you know for sure tomorrow if i'll be there.

I'll be there, Ross is (should be) bringing the trans. It's a complete tranny I just need the valve body so we can pull it out in the parking lot or at sams house 10 mins away

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Alright sweet.

Things works perfect and everything correct? 23 spline? (Obviously needs a valve body.)

I will have my usual 100lb bag of every tool needed to work on every jeep ever with me.

Nope, amazon. They were the cheapest taps I could find and didn't give a shit at the time and they keep working. I have better taps but I end up always using the chinese ones. I've used good taps and all I notice is how much better they cut, so nicer to cut with but they still break if you're not careful. I wouldn't worry AT ALL about a HF set. Most people don't use taps under a 1/4" for what we do on jeeps so big ****ing deal. You're tapping by hand too so just feel it out. They're cheap taps that won't get used much probably, nothing to worry about.

100% how I feel.

Never broken a tap on a jeep. Like I said, if you know how to tap you'll be fine.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Even I can operate a tap without breaking it, anybody should be able too.


So I'll toss the AW4 in my truck for Adam/King Kong and the welder for Ken. Anybody else I'm missing?
