Last week, Davin walked through the basics of cutting new threads in stock materials. That is all but necessary for fabricating new parts and pieces for a project, but what about threaded holes that already exist in parts you need to salvage? Then it’s time to talk about chasing threads, and while it’s a simple process there are a few tips Davin thinks are important to keep in mind.

TL;DR: If your threads are nasty or chattered, Tap them.
using those I.D. thread chasing… tools with only a ratchet is a terrible idea. It's incredibly easy while using a single handle tool like that to sort of cam over or get the tool going crooked in the hole, even if it's fully engaged in the thread. If you use those to clean up dirt or grime from the thread then whatever, but if you want to re-cut a damaged thread you should really use a tap and tap wrench to evenly apply the force on the cutting tool without the added twisting or momentary action. You'll save broken taps and oversized threads that way, and you won't have to pay a machinist like me to extract the broken tap when it does break.
Impact it on. Make your own threads.
It should be teached in school
thx a lot for demo !!! ♥
Very interesting info about restoring threads. Regards from russia!
I'm new in garage but from 1st day I started cleaning threads no one thaught me
instead of spending 50 quid, you can make those your self. grab a bolt of the correct diameter, cut a groove in it along its length and there you have it, your own thread chaser
Используй метчик и все ёмаё
