I have read the latest article on the nibbler which I think is very good, Only one thing seem wrong, The mention of the 3/8" X 20TPI thread it should normally be either 3/8" X 24TPI or on bigger drills 1/2 X 20 TPI

3/8" X 20 Is BSF and not the standard 3/8 and 1/2 UNF threads

Hi John,

I cannot check at the moment but I think it should read 1/2" x 20 TPI for the drill I used. Thanks for pointing out the mistake.

Kind regards

Mike

I've just checked a couple of my chucks, and yes it is 3/8" x 24 and 1/2" x 20. I've made enough adaptors for tehse things, I should have spotted it.

A very ingenious use of the nibbler, having cut a few inches off the end of a stainless steel sink with a hand cutter (the type that make s a coil about 1/8" wide) so it would fit in a camper, I can see many benefits.

Neil
