Fractional Tap & Die holder

thingiverse

This is a standard or fractional Tap & Die holder. It will hold the 1" hexagonal dies such as the old craftsman, Hansen, or other such dies. The holes for the taps are based on my old Craftsman set and works well for those size ranges. Use enough wall layers to allow mild reaming of holes if you are worried about oversize tap shaft diameters. I used 3 row walls and didnt have to ream any holes. The holder also has labels and holes for the appropriate size drills for the taps. Each size includes a row for fine and course threads. Hole sizes are oversized .016" for a slide in but not rattle fit. I should have used the Gridfinity base for this but wasnt thinking ahead. Maybe a remix will show up! Its helpful to get the taps, dies, and necessary drill bits gathered together and out of 10 random different drawers. Its portable and works well so far. I removed my name logo from the STL file so you dont have to. BTW, dont print in white, it wont stay that way!
