Model Forum / General / Models / April 200924mm die
Anyone have a 24mm x 2mm pitch die that I can buy/borrow. Need to sort a metric thread and never got round to the metric change gears for my lathe.

I tend to specialise in taps as usually you can screwcut an external thread easily. Checked Tracy tools and they don't stock one, London Crap and Die does but they want 50 quid for a carbon steel one. J&L do a HSS die for £25.27 #MED-26857M and a carbon steel die nut for £20.27 # IRH-08566A Anyone managed to buy anything off the London tap and Dies co. ? Every time I ring them up they quote me international telephone numbers for CS taps and dies when I can usually buyt HSS half the price from other places.

You'd be welcome to use my Bantam to screwcut it, but I'm still missing the 127 tooth gear, as I've got the others needed for the train. > I tend to specialise in taps as usually you can screwcut an external > thread easily. Could you then screwcut a tap in silver steel and use this to make a die?

I haven't ordered recently but the last time was maybe 1 1/2 years ago. I haven't bought carbon steel stuff from them only HSS or in their case HQS. > I haven't bought carbon steel stuff from them only HSS > or in their case HQS. Who's going to tell him...

Oh damn it was me.........

The taps I've got from them seem fine but haven't seen much use yet. Most of the taps and dies I buy are from J&L and I have bought from Tracy before. IIRC I went to Tap& Die for BSB stuff at the time. >> >>> On Tue, 31 Mar 2009 14:42:52 +0100, David Billington [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > dies I buy are from J&L and I have bought from Tracy before.

I don't see anything wrong with the Hamburg Quasar Survey, they are doing sterling work. > On Tue, 31 Mar 2009 14:42:52 +0100, David Billington > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Mark Rand > RTFM High Quality S**t? >> > I haven't bought carbon steel stuff from them only HSS >> > or in their case HQS.

If it's a fit for my lathe I'll almost certainly have it as I need this anyway. So do you still need to do the screwcutting and should I let you know if I get it? I was going to e-mail you direct, but I only have the old 'Guardian' address on this computer. Peter |
