Drill / Tap Guide Jig - Finished!

[Wal]

Hey dsc.

I wouldn't make the guide any taller due to M6 taps generally not being that long - in its current state I'm already losing 2cm of plunge off the taper tap - although for the depth I'm tapping it's not really an issue. Any deeper and it probably would be. The boss bores are a smidge over the diameters of the drills/taps so there really isn't that much flapping about.

Yep, in its current state the grub screw leaves a little crescent shaped mark on the plate, but I have some nylon tipped grubs on order to solve that problem!

Cheers.

Good stuff Wal, haven't thought about the taps being short.

Also glad to hear some one else discovered Dom!;)

You probably know this already, but a nice spiral flute tap will lift the swarf out the hole which is good for blind holes. If it's a good one, you should be able to use it in a cordless drill too, which makes things faster.
