Hi everybody,

Does anyone in this NG make custom taps and dies? My cousin ( a
millwright) is looking for some odd-ball taps and dies for work. He
isn't computer literate, which is why I got tasked with searching
online :)

Cheers,

CVC

Hmmmnnn . . . you'd think a millwright, or a millwright's relative would
have a better description than "oddball". Justgoestoshowya, he thinks we
are not only magicians, but mind readers as well.

PS: FWIW taps can be made by anyone with a screw cutting lathe and some
drill rod. Dies are a little more complicated, but doable. It's a "chicken
and egg" thing. First you make the tap and then use the tap to make the
die, etc.
