5/8" whitworth Left Hand tap needed

[Matchless]

I either need to borrow a tap or ask someone to cut a 5/8" Whit 11 tpi L/H thread into a 1" long bit of round or hexagonal steel bar as I seem to have lost one of the nuts from my vintage bead roller!

RDG ebay store £11-95 for set of three!!!
Must be carbon at that price but I suppose that's a lot just for one nut.

I was going to mention Tracy tools. Used them myself and the delivery is very quick. I send my customers to them if we haven't go what they need.

...the pictures look very fine thread

Stock photograph, not the actual taps you would receive.

If the taps are cheap, give them a easy time with a slightly oversize tapping drill hole.

It would pain me to buy one nut but would be cheaper than the taps:

Might have one pat

That is a very appropriate name for a left hand tap. I might have the eid to go with it.

Good find, may well buy a couple of these, If I bought cheap taps I would screw cut a thread first but for ME to cut an internal L/H thread would take a lot of time and brain power, I was looking for an easy answer, call me lazy!
