Taps and dies.

[bigegg]

Where's the best place to get singles?
Im after a 1/4"-20 tap and a die to match.

Die for threading 6mm mild steel bar (yes, I know!)
And tap is for putting threads in brass, aluminium or acrylic.

Just ordered a load of drill bits and taps from UK Drills good delivery and quality is very good (the 25mm blacksmith drill bit took some hammering today and is still sharp - impressed with that after a run of cheap ebay specials)

Ordered from Tracy.
Thanks BS.

I bought a set of metric from Aldi today.
They'll do for the little bit of tapping I do.

Ukdrills don't appear to do imperial sizes?

 

[davidstallard]

Sorry fella, never thought of that - only really use metric where I am, bit odd though, maybe worth an email?

Apologies again

No worries.


Still a useful company to know about.

metric will cover every imperial size but a pain in the neck if u have to convert the size when needed

I specifically need the 1/4"-20 to fit ready made camera mounts.
