Hey everyone! This week we are tackling another small handmade tool project, the Starrett style tap wrench. It's a simplistic little tool but has a whole lot of small things that need to come together for it to work well! We will go through some lathe work, machining on the Mill and even a little spring making, single point thread cutting and hardening Thanks for checking it out!
