Description
Update 1: fixed jaw files were not included, added now. A project ive been working on for some time, the model 301 Tapping Arm is a mostly printed tool to help with tapping. For the past 8 months its been my entire tapping setup, replacing my case of taps and dies since i dont use dies. The tool is ideal for me as I dont like vises in my small workshop since they disrupt the edge of my bench and make it less useful (I have a vise in a separate room but moving is not ideal.) Build guide: 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media This is a version 2, I never released version 1 which is shown above. The tapping arm features a removable vise, two of them actually, to allow for any part to be quickly setup. I use the same standard as my fractal vise so all the jaws for that work on this as well. Build guide coming soon!. PARTS LIST: For each vise: m4*50mm bolts*4 M4 couple nuts *2 Optional: m2*20mm bolts m5*100mm bolt M5 nut Vise holder: m2*15 bolts, x2 M2 nuts, x2 Body: 8mm linear bearing, 16mm OD m4*80mm bolts, * 8 M4 couple nuts, x4 M10 nuts, *2 M10 threaded rod, at least 20cm 19mm OD 16mm ID tube, OR replace ___ with ___ 8mm rod, 10cm 4mm rod or other, for handle ER16 collet chuck and collets (my choice) OR a suitable drill chuck with 8mm bore A spring for under the handle, 8mm ID, specs not important
