5mm Tap Drill Chuck

pinshape

I got tired of using my Leatherman's pliers to hold my 1/4-20 Tap Drill, so I quickly designed a comfortable, ergonomically friendly chuck for 5mm square-ended tap drills. Simply place your 5mm square-ended tap drill into either side of the chuck and tap that piece in place. Instructions Download and print this 5mm x 5mm tap drill chuck to make tapping parts easy - useful for projects such as the 3D printed tripod: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:33357. I added stress concentration relief points so it should last you a while unless you're tapping stainless steel or other hard metals. When I learn OpensCAD, I'll create parametric files so you can easily scale this down to get a tap drill holder for smaller tap drills.
