m10 x .75 triple lead taps

[mredburn]

I was asked earlier this year if I would consider getting the 10mm x .75 triple lead tap and die sets. I need to determine if there is enough interest to order the new size. The cost would be apx $130.00 and I would need 10 - 12 commitments to make it happen. This size would be for the smaller rollerball and Fountain pen sizes. If you would be interested but the timing isn't right I probably wont order them until after the new year.

Mike,

I'd be in whenever you order them.

Mike, I voted. Will you be selling the feeds to fit these? If not, who sells the feeds?

Thanks for "planning" another buy if it goes through.

 

[mredburn]

Peter these are for forming the cap threads not the feed assembly threads.

Mike, put me down for 2 sets, but I only voted once

After new year is fine, no hurry.

Mike, I voted...I'd take a set now.

Mike, I voted to take a set now but there is no real hurry on my part.

It seems like those would make a very small pen, something around the size of an Americana Flat top am I right?

 

[mredburn]

Yes it would be for small diameter pens 13mm or less od for the cap (.512) I think I did one that was 7/16 od with a 10mm single point thread at one time.

I want one. Now would be ok, but after the holidays would be better for me. Lots of grandkids to get presents for

I think I could use one. I voted for a couple of months.

Same as Chuck.

Thanks Mike, I have a "lot" to learn before I can make the jump to kitless.

 

[mredburn]

The poll has a little over 10 days to go but there is enough interest that I will order at least a dozen of them after the first of the year. I have already contacted Tapco for a firm quote.

Well put me down as first on the list for a set. A birthday gift for myself.

I thought you were looking at m10 x .5 / I could be wrong. Yes i'm searching NOW just ordered my nib taps. both 5mm & 6mm.

 

[mredburn]

Bill
My thought was the m10 x.5 would be very fine on a 3 lead tap adn easily stripped in the cutting process. I requested a quote from tapco on .75 and .8 and there was no difference in price. I favor the .75 but if athere was an arguement that favored the .5 pitch Im willing to consider it before I order them.

 

[PTownSubbie]

I would personally not trust 0.5 threads. I agree with you that they may strip easily. I would not purchase 0.5 threads.....

If I ever start turning kit-less pens, I'd want to start with something smaller like this, so I voted for the 4th option. I don't have any immediate plans though.

Being completely in the dark about what size taps to get....what would the pen size be using this set-up(ie...about the size of a "___________" pen kit)?


I'd like to stay with the Baron/Sedona/Navigator bodies....would this set work?

[hewunch]

This would be similar to a classic American aka flat top

 

[leehljp]

If it is not too late, I will be in for a set.

I checked "Next couple of months" because I was thinking that is probably how long it would take to get it. However, I will take it when it come in if it is earlier.
Let me know when you need the money.

Thanks!

 

[mredburn]

I plan on ordering them after Christmas but delivery wont be until mid January with the holidays. I have a firm quote on them. I plan on ordering 12 minimum and most likely 24.

 

[mredburn]

The tap and die sets are ordered. I have ordered 24 sets so there are some extras. The cost is $10.00 less than anticipated. $120.00 including shipping. THey will be available later if you dont get one but they will be more expensive. $135.00 plus shipping. delivery is expected to me at the end of this month.

 

[lorbay]

I think I answered your poll but did not say I wanted them in the thread but I do want a set. + I am sure I will have to pay more for shipping.

Shipping to Canada is no more than Priroity Mail in most cases because there is very little weight. Australia adds $3.00
I had 10 solid commitments between the poll and PM's so there should be 14 extra sets at this time.

NOTICE!

I have edited some information and will start a new thread in the classified section as this thread is crossing over into that area. Thank you all for your input.
