A Beginner Lathe Project - Making a Tap Follower
For today's project, I will be making the familiar tap follower.
This is a pretty common beginner level machining project, and in my opinion that's for very good reasons.
If you would like to follow along and make this project for yourself, you can download the drawings, for free, on my Patreon.
FREE!!! Drawings on my Patreon!: https://patreon.com/HERSCHToolRoom?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=join_link
This beginner level lathe project offers a lot of room for flexibility, and creativity. And, is perfect for folks who have gotten to know the basics of operating their machines and tools and are ready to take on a full fledged project from start to finish. (Or, for anybody who just needs a tap follower... 😂)
So, head to my Patreon, download the drawings, and follow along!
The skills required to finish this project will include turning, drilling, reaming, and grinding.
If you have any questions about the project, or just any questions in general, please don't hesitate to ask!

Who am I?
I'm a hobby machinist, with a passion for old machine tools and manual machining.
I am here to share and learn.
Being self taught, much of my limited knowledge, has come from others sharing their experiences online, just as I am doing now.
My hope, is that by putting my work in front of much more knowledgeable machinists, we can all learn something new together.
